    I adjusted retaining spring and reset timing. The old 8n is now purring like a kitten. I want to shout out to all those who contributed to helping me, a very sincere thank you. This forum is a wonderful collective of people cooperating and helping each other. This old N8 will be back in...

    I agree 100 percent. Let me know how your rebuild goes. I had a side mount for years. Never had single issue and it was a work horse. I assumed the best for this one, but not so. Once I get it running, I will evaluate, and go from there. It may need an engine rebuild too. Just don't...

    I am seriously considering reversing the 12V back to 6V. I had a 52 8n for years and planted over 500 vines at my vineyard and bush hogged the rows all the time. I never had one single electrical issue. This is the craziest thing I have gone through. Seems backward but that is what I am...

    I guess I will just buy a new one. Any recommendations on where to get a good one?

    Okay, another day with 8n. Here is what I did today: 1. Replaced points and condenser. 2. I put a new 12V coil on it yesterday. 3. Installed a new resistor 4. New distributor cap and rotor. 5. Cleaned old plugs and checked wires. It started and I was very happy. It ran very rough but it ran...

    Okay, will replace cap, rotor, points, and plugs. Maybe even the spark plug wires and resister while I am at. It almost started with just two plugs firing.

    Could this be the rotor?

    I replaced the coil. I now have spark on 2 and 3. No spark on 1 and 4. Why would that be?

    What is your thinking on the coil? I opened the distributor and checked the gap still perfect at .015. I noticed the snap ring was not seated correctly. I pushed down back in place. When I set the timing, I didn't touch that ring. How did it happen I wonder. I will inspect the points for the...

    Okay, I started at key switch through the resistor to the end of the coil wire. I have battery voltage all the way. After I connect the coil wire, it drops from 12.58V to 3.24.

    Thank you. Yes, my thoughts as well.

    The test light does not illuminate at all when I connect the wire. I have battery voltage to the coil but loose light when I connect it to the coil. I will test for voltage after it is connected to see what it is. It does not flash when cranking. I charge battery before each session, it is a...
