My brother has an 8N which is hard to get started. We know the carb must be leaking or running over because over time the gas runs out. Today when he tried to start it, it would pop and sputter a little but would not go. After doing this several times it had black oily looking stuff leaking out around where the exhaust pipe connects to the manifold. My brother was sure that it was flooded, but I am not so sure. My experience has been when something is flooded you give it full throttle. This would not fire or do anything at full throttle. He had to keep working the choke to get it to fire. We did finally get it running and it ran fine driving from his place to mine. As we were trying to start it I thought it sounded like it was blowing back out through air intake. This makes me wonder if it is a timing issue. Just wondering what you guys think and how you adjust timing on this? Any help would be appreciated.
I did a complete ignition tune up on this tractor a year and a half ago. It ran beautifully after that until this problem started last fall. My brother only uses it for hauling firewood and occasionally raking hay.
