A friend of mine has a 8N that has had the compression checked, tuned up,he put on a new carb,and he says that it still falls on its face under a load but runs ok with no load. He wants me to look at it and I am sure someone has had the same kind of problem so if you have please let me know so my friend can get some sleep!

Like others, I'll bet it runs great with the choke out.

First things first check for air intake blockage and go from there.

along with what BG said try to pull the choke out a little and see if that makes a differance. it takes a little paitiance but is a easy way to check for a lean condition. if so you could be a couple of turns of a screw from nervona.

Two things come to mind:
Centrifugal advance and/or timing problems or,
governor problems.
If the spark doesn't advance with increasing rpm, the engine will be sluggish.
If the governor doesn't ask the carb for more gas to maintain the governed rpm, it will bog down. Usually the flyballs are flat-spotted or the race is grooved preventing the flyballs from moving beyond the groove, or both.
Neither problem is earth-shaking.
Try moving the governor rods by hand to see if you can feel or otherwise detect any dead spots or rough operation.
Inspect the advance weights by removing the breaker plate. They could be rusted or gunked-up with grease, or worn out.
