Just launched my '49 8N after new paint job. Looks pretty. But noticed after engine warmed up and at 1/3 throttle, engine started to lose power for second, then recover. Then lose power again, then back to normal. Never stalled, but sounds like it might. Got even worse when opened up throttle to 1/2. I found that if i choke it during the slow down, it comes back to normal and stays there a while. I'm thinking may be starving for fuel --- just cleaned out all the fuel screens & tank, maybe misadjusted carb? Don't think is governor, but who knows? thanks.

Rudy..... .could be surge from yer governor. Could be weak sparkies. Could be float level. Could be clogged fuel filters. But most likely is "lean-carb". So simple to check (pullin' choke alittle-bitt is good check). So simple to "fix". ENRICH yer down-pointing mainjet 1/8 turn (atta time) CCW (keep count of yer 1/8's turns)..... ...Dell
