My 8N will start but won't stay running. It acts like its being starved for fuel. If I disconnect the fuel line at the carb, gas runs free out of it.
I can screw on that elbow with the filter from the carb and gas runs free there too. But just to be sure I cleaned both that filter and the one at the
sediment bowl. When it starts to miss if I choke it I can get it to run a bit longer. Put a new carb on and it didn't help.
Cleaned out and checked the air filter. It did seem to run a bit longer when not hooked to the air filter and just taking air at the carb but it did
die then as well.
I tried to make sure timing is correct but the thing won't run long enough to give me a chance to check it. I did go through the procedure in the IT
Manual that says to set the points to just start to open at 4 degrees BTDC. It did start and run fairly well, albeit rough and then sounded like not
getting fuel and died. I am keeping in mind that someone said 90% of fuel problems are electrical.
Thoughts?
