I think i have a real tired 2N. She's been missing pretty bad and giving me some scary back fires. I'm putting her in the garage for the winter to give her a
good tuning up but it looks like it is going to be more than i really wanted to tackle. I think i'm going to go for the rebuild though.
I purchased the elec tuneup kit from here, expecting that to be the main issue. Nice spark on all cyl with extended gap plug.
I checked fuel flow. Seems really strong.
....then i check compression. Started with cold/dry compression last night
1 - 71
2 - 69
3 - 58
4 - 31
Plan to check wet compression later this week, when i get some more time.
Looks like I'll have to have the neighbor brings his monster JD up the drive this winter if we get the big snows.
I suppose she has been rebuilt at least once in the last 72 years, but every time i've opened a new area (air filter, governor, starter, etc.), i still see the
original paint. I have been led to believe that my great-grandfather had purchased this used in the 60s. I think he mainly used it like we use our ATVs today,
to check on fields and animals. I'd like to do a full restore on it some time, but i didn't expect to have to do it just yet.
