While changing the oil on my 2n today, I noticed that it has a 1/8 brass pipe plug in the bottom of the can.. therefore making it easy to drain the oil canister during an oil change. Looks like it could be oem.. threads are tapped into a built up area.. doesn't look buggered ...but guess it could have been an 'elegant' add on by a skilled previous owner. My 8n doesn't have this. Is this a 9n / 2n deal.. or did someone add this to mine as a convienience.opinions?

Also..a comment on 12v ignitions. Though I like my 6v equipment ( 52 8n and 50' JD-B ).. I must say.. the 'extra' sparkies available with the 12v coil are amazing. When i pulled my 46' 2n apart today to do the ignition, first I noticed the ancient h-10 plugs must have been gapped/burnt open to nearly .045... in addition had an old set of 7mm anti-radiostaic wires.. On the inside of the 'crab' cap, the contacts were burnt and extremely coroded. The were also very recessed into the plastic of the cap, whereas the new cap had the contacts ground flush with the cap walls. I'm guessing this cap hasn't been changed in decades. Also, rotor was so old tha tthe top contact had a hole rubbed in it, and the 'electrode' was visibly shorter than the replacement.. It had receded / burnt back .050 I would guess.

All this extra tolerance, and the thing still started and ran when i got it..

Also noticed now with it all back together, I can get about .5 inch of bright blue spark from the wire against the block.... my 6v 52 8n only dreams of spark like that...

I have a feeling this 2n had been sitting non-running for a long time before I bought it, as it smoked a bit when i got it.. but after running it some and a fluid change, it has cut back a bit... I though perhaps rings freeing up?.. so I've added some mmo tot he gas, etc

oh well.. guess I gotta go to bed so i can get up bright and early and mount a tire...
