I am new on the forum, but I have read some of the past posts.
I have a 1952 8N, the problem is it will run for about 30 min or so, then sputters/spits until it quits running. It will fire up again, then die. If let set for 30 min or better, it will run longer. It has been converted to 12v. has new coil, points, rotor, spark plugs, fuel bowl, etc. I tried an experiment and used a translucent fuel hose and noticed that when it starts acting up, the fuel line had bubbles that got bigger and bigger until no fuel got through. Pulled the tank off 3 times and cleaned best I could (all kinds of stuff including dragonfly wings!). Any ideas? Last year the tractor ran perfectly fine.
