Teaford.......do you ever read the answers to yer querry? Yesterday, I wrote.........there are 4-common runtime issues with the N-Engine.

1) runs fer about 1-min and quits; restarts innna'bout 5-mins; BAD condenser....NOT yer problem as stated

2) runs fer about 1-hr and quits; restarts after 4-hr cool down; BAD squarecan ignition coil; NOT yer problem

3) runs fer about 15-mins and quits; restarts after'bout 30-mins; BAD weaksister ignition switch, could be yer problem; NEW ignition switch ($10, cheap)

4) runs fer about 5-mins and quits; restarts innna'bout 5-mins; CLOGGED in tank fuel filter. sound like yer problem??? You will haffta un-screw yer glass bulb valve to clean the 2-tubes attached to the glass valve assy."

Read response #2, about the squarecan sparkie coil, it'll run fer about 1-Hr and dies
Read response #3, weaksister ignition switch

Heres the deal, some previous shadetree owner "BYPASSED" the infamous ballast resistor for HOTTER sparkies and quicker starting. Well guess what??? That DUMB previous owner has now caused the insulative tar to melt inside the squarecan coil and short out some of the windings and AMAZINGLY enuff, WEAK SPARKIES and hard starting with less-than-stout 6-volt battery. That is WHY you can tow-start yer 8N 'cuz the battery ain't being dragged down by the ignition coil ballast resistor scheme.

HTH........Dell, yer sparkie-meister

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulic Basics - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In the last entry to this series we gave a brief overview of hydraulic system theory, its basic components and how it works. Now lets take a look at some general maintenance tips that will keep our system operating to its fullest potential. The two biggest enemies to a hydraulic system are dirt and water. Dirt can score the insides of cylinders, spool valves and pumps. Wate ... [Read Article]
