a few days ago as i was coming acrost the pasture, my 8N (1951) started missing and tried to die a few times. it ran so rough i didn't think i would make it to the house. i figured it must have been the fuel filter trying to stop up. new filter didn't help. so, ok, it hadn't een tuned up in 5 yrs so i put new plugs, points, wires, cap, etc. no change. rebuilt the carb, and replaced the manifold while i was at it. no improvement. kinda stumped here. it's getting plenty of fuel. timing is right. don't know.....at idle it will drop random shots and sound sorta "feathery", increase the speed and it will surge and miss and try to die. i was thinking that maybe the carb kit didn't work. and btw, why does a rebuilt cost only 5.00 less than new? also noticed that the firin order in my IT manual says 1-2-4-3, but mine has always been 1-3-4-2. looks like it was wired wrong it would't have run perfectly for years.....anyway, do you think i should just go ahead and buy a new carb, r look elsewhere? (btw, the governor seems to be fine also.) also, if i screw out the idle screw all the way the tractor will die, but if i screw it all the way in, it does't affect it.
