I'm having a great ol time disking some ground last night on my 52 8N which had been running great. All of a sudden it sputtered and then just quit like it ran out of gas (I had 1/2 a tank) and won't start. I noticed the past couple of times when I would start it that it seemed to flood really easy with gas dripping out of the carb. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

From what you are saying it sounds like it could also be an ignition problem. If you have a bad connection somewhere in your ignition system like a key switch that has corroded or a wire that is failing then this could cause the symtoms that you are describing as well.

The symptoms you describe are consistent with a stuck float. Time to clean out all three fuel strainers and at least clean up the carb.

When gas pours out of the carb it can and often does siphon into a cylinder and into the crank case. I know this is counter intuitive but it has happened to me more than once.

Before you run it I would change the oil and filter and put a shot of oil down each cylinder.

Your mileage may vary

Sounds like the float is sticking closed and or open at times. It may be time for a carb rebuild.
