I just traded for an 8n. it has the front distributer. When I got it it hadn't ran is several years. It didn't have any fire so I found a short is the points backer plate and replaced it , the coil and points. I got it started but it would only run with the choke out so I got a kit for the MS carb. I cleaned the carb out and rebuilt it. Now it starts and runs great but it sometimes dies at higher rpms when the govenor kicks in. A little ckoke and it clears right up but will do it most every time. At lower rpms it runs and works great. What is my problem?
I also think it revs to high. It doesn't have a tac so there is nothing but my memory of how many rpms an 8n turns that makes me think it revs to high. What would cause it to rev to nhigh, cause the govenor nseems to work nfine otherwise. I hope some of you N guys can diagnois my problems over the net' Thanks, Nat
