Just something to think about. We had storms here yesterday so today I got out with the 8N to scrape the dirt roads.
After about 20 minutes it chugged to a stop like it was out of gas. I turned the valve to the emergency position and it wouldn't start. I sprayed in some starting fluid and it finally started. So I started home to put some gas in it. On the way it died again two more times.
The last time it died I was almost to it's parking spot. While turning off the gas valve I happened to check the wire on the solenoid. The wire was loose enough to jiggle by hand.
I tightened it up and put some gas into it and went back to work for two hours with no problems.
Brings to mind what the guys here keep jamming into peoples head. Clean, Bright and Tight. Bad connections cause problems.

To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
