Parker.........keep yer itchy twitchy fingers off'n them handy-dandy carb tweek'ums. They aint'chur problem as described.
You do know that 8N's had 2-different dizzys, don't you? The weird 4-nipple frontmount and the more common looking 5-nipple sidemount. Since you mention gittin' water in the cap, I'm gonna make a WAG (wild A$$ guess) that you're talkin'bout the 4-nipple frontmount.

The N-Engine is SOOOooo GOOood that it will start and run on just 2-sparkies without much power, just as you complain. ........Dell, yer self-appointed sparkie-meister

He was a farmer by birth and a farmer by choice, and like many returning soldiers, he was our silent hero: without medals or decorations, but with a certain ability to survive. It was on his farm that I learned to use the combination hand clutch and brake on a John D
