Hello and welcome to my world.

I have been fighting this problem for about 2 years. I can tell you that they don't all do it. Mine didn't used to do it. I have the exact same symptoms as you and then some. Mine will also sputter at half throttle and need some choke to run smooth. The only thing I have not done is a complete valve job. I am about to the point of ripping the motor out and doing a "complete overhaul". I think it is a valve problem. Mine used to hold back/run smooth when going down hill, not any more.

My problems started a month or two after I installed A sherman over/under in my tractor. I was in a rush to get it back together to get hay raked. In my rush I didn't get the metal air intake tube all the way in the rubber hose under the hood at the air filter. It pulled out sometime while raking hay, hence no air filter in line. It was not in dusty or dirty conditions. The miss/sputter did not show up right away. I can only guess the lack of air filter let some dirt or grit in and pitted the valve seats/valves and it has slowly gotten worse.

Alot of people around this area don't like the little ford 8n's. lots call them "farting ford 8n's" Well if they all run like mine does now I would agree. That's what makes me mad is knowing it can run great/smooth because I have seen it.

I also wanted to put a vaccum gauge on the motor but have not gotten around to it yet.

Hope you can find something. I am about out of options except a complete rebuild.
