Blue box?? Does it have a removable inspeciton cover? Doesn't sound like a
vaccum controlled model to me. I'm no sure when they changed.

I really don't know, but you shouldn't need one. They are really simple.
It's just the kind of job you need to handle with great care. Especially
when removing, replacing and cleaning the orifices. You can usually check
the orifices by holding them up to a light. Make sure you can "sight"
through them.

Pulled it off today. It has two wires to it, and a sliding plunger. When
activated by electricity, it holds the idle at fast idle.

Check the resistance between those two wires. Should be something like
five ohms. Check for continuity between each wire and ground. Shouldn't
be any. Then apply 12 volts and see if the plunger actuates. If so,
there's nothing wrong with your weld idle solenoid.

Did that, and it tested okay. Then I got the hole punched in the radiator
and everything stopped. I think it's in the circuit board. I'll take the
radiator to Vegas Wednesday and have it repaired, and after that, use the
machine without the auto idle feature, and just clean up and paint. After
that, I'll take it to Vegas, or find a local shop that can fix the Lincoln
electronics on it. Right now, I'm dead in the water, so I'm working on home
remodel stuff for a few days.
As an aside, I called local radiator shops, and no one in town does rod and
core jobs on radiators. None have a dip tank. They say it's cheaper just
to buy a new one. I don't know about this old machine, and finding a
radiator, so I'll try my guy first. If it can be fixed, he'll fix it. He
can take the tops off and splice in a new core section, and all sorts of
marvelous tricks. But the bottom pan has mounting bolts that have to stay
where they are to mount it back up.
Drat.

Please log in for more thread options You need to move to a place with REAL shops. I have my choice of several
shops that can do a full radiator tear down, replace or plug cores as
required, resemble, clean, test, repaint. Last one I had done was $60 or
so a couple years back.
