Posted by Grant Erwin on March 21, 2008, 10:10 am Please log in for more thread options It's really common on old gas-powered welders that the weld idle bit fails. It's entirely possible that you can get the gas engine running great and the welder welding great but that one part where when you stop welding, the idle kicks down or when you start welding, it kicks up, may be broken. It also may be really expensive to fix. Hopefully you can still get parts on an SA-200 weld idle control.

You can use some of the other carb cleaners, SeaFoam seems to work better on older engines with dried up crud from storage. > They looked to be a little downward from that position when I originally > looked at it, so I bent them more up parallel.
