I spend a good deal of time today figuring out why my 250 amp lincoln engine driven arc welder was not running,
I remember to keep the battery charged and Ive checked the fuel and oil, but I seldom use the ARC welder at times , it seems that the gas in the tank sat long enough that the cure was simply draining and replacing the fuel, even though Id had a significant dose of
in the tank, Ive been mostly TIG and acetylene torch welding so it sat for over 6-9 months, before I used it (or tried too) but it worked fine once the fuel and oil and filters were replaced
obviously all tools need maintenance, and I had foolishly thought that fuel with the stabilizer in it should be ok, but it turns out you need to run engines and replace fuel every few months MINIMUM in engine driven welders, hey! no ones perfect and I,m busy, but I learned during the process!
