there are no adjustments on those old carbs, unless you suspect the float setting has changed someway. Any mixture screws, just set 1 1/2 turns out to start and adjust for best performance, (any carb).

akjohnston,
Check out this site Ford 9N, 2N & 8N Discussion Board
it is all about 8n & 9n tractors. Do a search on carb adjustment and you should find what you need. There are a lot of knowledgeable people that are glad to share it with others.

I have no idea what problems you are having, but the ignition coil is often a problem that acts like a carb problem. Check out the site and good luck.

As already stated, 1.5 turns open to start. Then adjust idle screw, the small one, for best idle. Years ago the family 2N usually was fine with 1.5 turns on the power jet needle. We sometimes used 1/4 turn more for very heavy work or 1/4 turn less for piddle work - if we felt the need.

Classic... First sentence says there are -NO- adjustments. Second sentence procedes to tell how to "adjust" the down pointing mainjet ( OUT to enrich ) and the side pointing idle air mix ( in to enrich ).. ( this assumes a MS carb like the tsx 33 / 241 variants.. etc.. )

wonderfull...

If you can adjust ANY carb, you can adjust an 8N. Have a nice day soundguy .

I was assuming he meant anything specific to the 8N carb. I believe you are obsessing over this forum, soundguy.
