New here, bear with me. I just bought an 8n. It was a lot
cheaper to heal my midlife crisis than a Harley. It is giving me
a little trouble that I can"t quit figure out. It will start to run like it
is starving for fuel. When it is running, it runs like a top. I have
taken the se dement bulb off. It runs fuel like it should. When I
screw the bulb on as tight as I think it should be, the tank won"t
empty to the sedement bulb. Loosen it a little, and it will fill
quickly. Follow the fuel line down, take it off, and blow in it
there is no obstruction. That leads to an aftermarket fuel filter.
It"s clear, and I can see that it is barely getting a drip from the
fuel line. Let it sit, and fill, and the little tractor runs great.
When the fuel is all drained form it, it starves again. The added
inline fuel filter seems like a good idea. One problem with it is,
that is like 1 inch from the manifold. I don"t like that. Why am I
not getting enough fuel to the carb? The opening to the
sedement bulb flows freely, and the line from sedement bulb to
filter is unobstructed. Seems like it should be getting enough
fuel. I don"t think the carb is the problem. It runs too good
when it"s getting fuel.
