OK. Got that 8 n running. It had been sitting for 5 years but put some atf in the explosion holes and let it sit for 2 days and then decided to start the thing.
Sprayed some starter fluid in the carb hole and hit the starter and i could not believe my ears... it started immediately. Smoked some but ran fairly good.
Turned it off and hit the starter and it fired up as soon as the motor turned over.
So, i let it idle for about 30 minutes and it just purred like a kitty. Then i goosed it and that is when the problems started. IT smoked like crazy at higher rpm"s.
Went back to idle and the smoking stopped,,, can"t figure that one out.
Maybe somebody out there knows the answer to this cause it sure has me baffled.
Stars good every time , idles good all the time with no smoke and seems to have lots of power.
