Bought an 8n that hadn't started for 2 years, after it had a carburator kit put in. Found the needle valve spring in upside down, thought it was fixed, it wasn't. It will start and run with a leakage tester plugged in where the coil wire goes into the distributor, this throws a continuous spark which fires as the rotor turns, and bypasses the ignition system. Replaced the condenser, and tractor started and ran on it's own for several times one afternoon, then died and is back like it was. Getting gas, spark looks good, timing and compression are good, tried distributor cap and points, nothing helps. Haven't tried plugs and wires yet, but guess I will, but seems like they should be good, since it will run on leakage tester. Any ideas? I'm stumped.
