ENGINE PROBLEMS

Engine will not idle down to low
speed. Machine has normal weld
and auxiliary power.

1. Make sure the Idler switch (S4)

is in the “AUTO” position.

2. Make sure there is not an exter-

nal load on either the weld ter-
minals or the auxiliary recepta-
cles.

3. Check for mechanical restriction

in the solenoid linkage.

1. Perform the Idler Solenoid Test.

2. Make sure the control board

mounting/grounding screws are
tight.

3. Check leads #226, #227, #237 &

#254 for loose or faulty connec-
tions. See the Wiring Diagram.

4. Check solenoid waveforms as

illustrated in the Oscilloscope
Waveforms Section.

5. Check to make sure that leads

#227 & #232 at the B1 & B3 ter-
minals on the control board are
not swapped. See the Wiring
Diagram.

Engine will not go to high idle when
attempting to weld or use auxiliary
power. Output is normal when Idler
switch is in the “HIGH” position.
Automatic idle function works prop-
erly when the auxiliary power is
loaded.

1. Make sure the welding cables

and connections are tight.

NOTE: The automatic idler may

not function if the auxiliary
power is loaded to less
than 150 watts.

1. Check the current sensing toroid

for loose or faulty connections.
CV models only. See the Wiring
Diagram.

2. Make sure the toroid and lead

assembly are assembled cor-
rectly. CV models only. See the
Wiring Diagram.

3. Check the shunt and associated

leads for loose or faulty connec-
tions. Stick models only.

4. The control board may be faulty.
