troubleshooting 1948 8N

or it could be incorrect resistor.. or it could be a failed condensor.. or bd wireing.

you need to do more troubleshooting before buying stuff. throwing parts atr a problem you don't fully understand MIGHT get you lucky.. or it might waste money.

i'd check out all the wire connections..and put a test lamp in line with coil and bump over and see if lamp blinks good.

Was the coil. Spark wasn't strong enough. It needs some serious tuning now since the guys of the carb are new.
Thanks

I got mine figured out, its amazing what you can get accomplished with a little time. I changed the plugs, gas, sediment bowl and screen, gave it a good shot of starting fluid and she started for me. The carb could use a good cleaning I assume since it runs best with the choke out ever so slightly. I was going to check the compression but it fired over so I'll wait to check that until I get it in the shop where its WARM. Thanks to all who responded!

It's running, but runs like ****..... Need to take apart the carb again to check float and any obstructions.
