Who's familiar with 8N's?
Had a good running 8N and after about 10 minutes of run time it stalled. Thought it was out of gas but that's not the case. Its getting gas to carburetor but will not fire. Did not have a whole lot of time to mess with it today so I will check the spark tomorrow. Its got the side distributor if that matters.
Any thoughts as to what the problem may be?
Thanks

If it "just quit", definitely electrical. Fuel problems would cause it to run rough (mine would cough and sputter with seemingly almost 50/50 mix of water and gas)!
Work through electrical as suggested. I'd start at the plugs and work backwards.

Hotwire the coil, check spark, post back.

Have you checked points gap? .025
