After monkeying with the throttle and governor linkage (for some reason I get an error when trying to post photos), I was able to get this unit welding and it did a great job. Somebody needs to learn how to weld, but it's welding. Thanks to all that read this post and to those that responded...

Thank you! That's what I thought was happening. The diaphragm is working, but the engine is not revving. I have tracked it down to the linkage levers on the carburetor not being the right ones. They move freely on the throttle shaft which does not turn the shaft when the diaphragm and governor...

Manifold vacuum not pressurized (I misspoke). Vacuum comes from the intake manifold and goes to a diaphragm that retracts once the engine is running.

I have an update: I was able go get the FC running pretty good. It's got a slight miss that I haven't tracked down yet (you can barely hear it toward the end of the video). I'm going to replace the plugs, points, condenser, rotor, and cap (if I can find them) in hopes that fixes the miss. In my...

I've seen some of those, but not all. Thank you for your reply.

Thank you for your reply. That's good to know about the leads. I will keep that in mind when I strike my first arc.

Thank you for your reply. Interesting... I wonder if they have an archive of old weldermanuals. I'm going to look into it.

Thank you for your reply. I found out from the Waukesha Engine Historical Society that the engine left the factory in the third quarter of 1966. So it sounds like your in my welder are about the same era. Can you tell me on your machine, if you have the power switch turned off and push the...

I hadn't seen that forum post nor the video. Thank you for forwarding them. I knew nothing about P&H until I bought this thing. I've been looking for an engine driven welder for a few years now, but couldn't justify the cost of a new (or used) Lincoln, Miller, Hobart, etc. This one is a fixer...

Hi, Does anyone have or know where I can get any info (service manuals, schematics, parts, etc.) for this welder. It has a Waukesha FC engine, which I can find info on. I can't find any info on the welding unit itself. Any info is appreciated. --Jack
