I posted this in tool talk, but I wanted to cast a wider net.
I have a Lincoln Weldanpower from about 1987. It has a Briggs 16hp single cylinder motor on it and after about an hour of running, it begins to surge. We thought it a fuel issue, but that has been ruled out. It was switched from points to EI at some point. Would a failing EI cause a surge issue after about an hour of run time while under intermittent load? What other electrical things can we check? Would the ignition switch go bad in this manner?
Thanks
