I need help repairing may 8N, it will not start now. When it did run it did not seem to have much power. Anybody in the Kansas City area know where I can have it repaired?

Don't assume you need a new distributor and coil. There just that assumptions. Lack of power could be anything from compression, carburetor, fuel line, bad plugs, plug wires... You get the picture. I know a guy on the West side of KC, KS. by Bonner Springs if you need somonelse too look at it. I dont know him well but have spoken to him and heard from others he is fair.

You should try a little trouble shooting first.
A shot of starting fluid will determine if the problem is fuel or electric. Likely your lack of power is related but not necessarily. A compression test would be revealing also.
Post your results here and the many experts and folks who have fixed similar problems will be able to help you.

check out mike's parts site. a new distributor will make a world of difference. $184.00 well spent and easy to swap

Did I miss something? Where did "replace the distributor" come from?

When you get the distributor be sure to get a new coil as well. My old one wouldn't pass any current through it and gave me the same problems.
