Hello all! I'm new to the forum, and recently acquired a 1950 8N. It had all sorts of issues from sitting for several years. I built a new wiring harness, new radiator, new points/plugs/wires/cap/rotor/condenser.
She's getting fire, and will run as long as I keep giving her shots of starting fluid, but will not stay running when I stop the spray. Rebuilt the original carb with the exception of the main jet that I don't have the right screwdriver for removal. I did CLEAN the main jet, ran a wire through it, sprayed all passages with cleaner and air.
I'm getting fresh fuel to the float bowl.
Carb has been off/on...opened up and double checked in every possible way that I can check it....but she's still not flowing fuel.
Idle mix has been 1 to 2 turns out, 1.5 to 4 turns out on main mix.
I'm baffled!
