When you put the rubber packing into the throttle shaft hole, did you put a brass retainer cup into the shaft hole to keep the rubber packing in place? Didn't see you mention that. Great info on the governor, and your run through of the carb cleaning was excellent. Not really necessary to remove the three brass jets (economizer, idle, and main) as they can be buggered up easily, as you found out on the idle jet. Good to check for proper diameter hole size on each: Idle jet .032, economizer jet .046, and main jet .052). Well done!
I have never seen a 8N with the breather on the left side. I bought a new proof meter and cable and the inner cable was too short and had to by a universal, we’ll see if that works.
Great video Working on my 8N -- Tractor surging Installed new after market carb -- half the weight of the marvel ( will rebuild ). Removed governor, cleaned ( wished I watched video before --could have taken it apart -arms are loose and play in spring . Where do you get brass shim ? Re-installed governor -- still surging. Ordering new governor -- will rebuild old one when I have time this summer. Really helped me understand all components. Thanks
I have an 8n. I had to replace the carburetor and now it tries to die when go up hill, I did replace the fuel filter and readjusted the carb many times from factory to extreme with no luck. Any ideas? Thanks!
@@xpsgarage indeed, I'm gonna be looking at doin it to my 1950 8n just to add a little extra to it's pull power rather than flathead V8 swap till I get another I mean why not also have a V8 8n too 🤣 I dare you ta do some research n come up with a supercharger for yers 🤠
I don't think there is much adjustment to it. Make sure there isn't any slack in the spring and that the arm is not all sloppy. The adjustment is in the throttle linkage. Once you have the throttle set then the governor just moves the throttle to maintain RPM.
I bought A2N 1946. And it ran good when I bought it. I left the guy use it for 2 weeks. Went back to pick it up and it backed fires. And it will not stay running. Do you have any ideas? What might be wrong?
I'd make sure you have good fuel flow to the carb and would probably also drain the carb to make sure there is no water in it. After that check the spark plugs and ignition to make sure you have good fire.
@@duanebolen543 Have you checked all the wiring to and from the coil? Do you still have a resistor block in the power line to the coil? They have been known to go bad.
If its brand new, likely its an overseas (India or China) model and you may be in for some heart ache with its performance. Another video I found said that they salvaged a brand new overseas model by tearing it open and properly shimming the shaft which they found wasn't shimmed for preload at all. Good luck.
@@xpsgarage spent all morning taking apart and reassembling the carb. Needed a new battery as well, oops! Got her running but the idol and rev are not acting right. My Governor linkage is sloppy to say the least. I think a Governor rebuild is in my future
