Bluejeans,

I have a 1973 Ford 2000 that is sensitive the first time I start it in the morning. I have found that three things really help:

1. I always turn off the fuel valve at the tank when I park the tractor and then turn it back on just before I start it in the morning,

2. I leave the throttle completely down until the engine starts and then I "feather" it up until the engine is running smoothly,

3. When starting the engine, I don't just crank, crank. crank it. I hit the starter for a second or two and then let it off. I hit the starter again, and the engine virtually always starts on that second hit.

Your 8N might respond differently, but this procedure has worked for me for many years on my 2000.

Good luck,

Tom in TN
