My 49 8n had been setting for about three weeks and when I started it run bad. What happens is it sounds like it is running our of gas and the govener kicks in it will be ok for about 30 sec or so and it will do it again. I at first thought I had a fuel problem and cleaned the screens. It still had the same problem. The strange thing is if I run it at full throttle it runs fine. If I throttle it back close to idle it will die. I am not sure what to do for it. Let me know what you guys think.

Mine was doing the same thing and I drained the gas tank by removing the filter bowl and quite a bit of junk came out of teh tank. I cleaned the bowl and valve and have had no problems since. Of course, I strained the gas befor I put it back in.

If it was running alright before the 3 week vacation, I'd blow some carb cleaner throgh the jets. If it's been sitting, the carb can varnish up quickly and gum up the jets.

Maybe it is your governor adjustment. If it hunts like that there may be slop in it at the low end.

fwiw

Tony....as Dell always says, almost all fuel related problems turn out to be electrical....my 52 8N ran like a top one day, then acted like you are describing the next....I swore it was fuel...cleaned the screen, flushed the tank, rebuilt the carb, same crap....turned out to be the coil...I would go in that direction...good luck...RON
