MILLER 2E WELDER

IRONMAN (AL) · May 24, 2016

I have a miller 2E 1980 model welder/generator a friend had, that someone gave to him anyway I finely have it running and seams to do ok. Now the question is when welding should it idle down some between the time it takes to change rods or move to another part, this one stays wide open all the time.

Something in the pc board or idle circuit possibly bad.

idle down if you have 'auto idle' switch in that position.

2E does not have the idle down feature, normally. Mine does not.

Don't forget 120 volt is at a dead idle of 1850 or so. Throttle lever must be in idle position to trip switch.

ine of ~1990 vintage does have auto Idle switch.

Mine is probably early 80's and doesn't have auto idle. It is 100% duty cycle at 225 amps.

thanks for the input mine has no switch, throttle position for idle does work 110 outlet then throttle up to weld I just thought it might slow down some when changing rods or someyhing
