Ray..... .Sounds like a clogged main jet or air leak. How comfortable are you with carburators? (the're not rocket science you know, made for farmers, grin) Basically, there are 2 fuel adjust needles, main jet, idle mixture jet. and an idle set screw. I'd gently, but firmly screw the main jet closed (hopefully dislodging the clog) and then reset it to 2 full turns out. My 8N runs best at about 1 1/2 turns, some have to go out to 2 1/2 turns but no more. If you've diddled with the Idle mixture adjust, just set it for 1 turn out to get you going. If that doesn't solve your problem,(I like to do the eazy stuff first), then I'd consider spraying something like WD-40 around the carb while the engine is running, If the speed picks up (by burning the WD-40) then you have found your air leak ( which is causing lean burn....ie... need for choke) The Hardest part about rebuilding a N-carb is loosing the parts (don't ask) take your time and don't do it out in the field on the hood. Hope this inspires you.....and the last thing I'd do is buy a new carb..... .good Luck..... Dell
