My 2N runs great and starts very easy, seems like it is running before the second "verump". I did put electronic ignition in it, but it did the same with points when they were nice and clean.
My buddy has an 8N, older restoration and a trailer queen. He gets it out once a year and it is always a fight to get it started. So he asked me to put electronic ignition on it because he got tired of fighting the points. Both his 8N and my 2N are front mount distributors. Both are still 6V and other than the electronic ignition and plug wires, they are both all original design.
The 8N is still a real bugger to get started. Once started it runs great, smooth over the entire range of RPM, but hard to start. We pull started it and it fired right up and it will start with the battery / starter but takes a long time. The carb has been recently rebuilt and seems fine.
I wonder if the coil is weak? Any ideas why this thing is hard to start but runs great, great oil pressure.
Any Ideas why this thing is so stubborn to start?
