: : I am having trouble with my 8N.It can be hard to start,but usually will run.Lately it has a tendecy to just cut off in the middle of running.I am wondering if the timing chain is getting stretched or if it could be a carburator or distributor problem.Any suggestions on how to track it down?

: check the fuel filter in the tank. The tank may have rust in it and the fuel filter rots out clogging the tube.

Sounds like a coil to me. Pull a plug wire off and check the fire if its orange and not blue your coil is weak. Just put a new coil on my 1949 8N last week.Had the same simptons.good luck
