I have asked various questions about this welder before, but it is a Lincoln Weldanpower from the mid to late 1980s powered by a Briggs I/C 16hp motor. It has a carburetor. Today while set on the auto-idle (in the low range) setting, the motor got to acting up where it lost rpm and finally died out. When running on high idle it had no problems and had plenty of power.
On the low idle setting, what would normally cause this? Am I right to assume it is trash in the carburetor? For those with experience with this carburetor, any special tricks on adjusting the low idle?
I didn't have time to really tackle the problem today, but I will get at it tomorrow. Here is a picture of the machine in question.
Thanks.
