trigger switch wires broken in the cable ground wire not connected to the job

Your local welding supplier would be you first choice. you will be able to fit an alternative power cable, dosn't have to be Carke,

if it is just not feeding wire, check the tension on feed wheel. Make sure it turns when trigger is pressed. Also make sure you have gas with solid wire. If you have cored wire gas is not needed.

Increase Voltage.

release the tension from the WFR, pull the trigger and check the shaft that the rollers are attached is spinning if yes then the woodruff key is either missing or broken if no then the drive motor needs looking at, the shaft may have broken further along. get an electrician to check it out.

Your Hobart has a Drive Motor Protection.The Drive motor protection circuit protects drive motor from overload. If drive motor becomes inoperative, release gun trigger and wait until protection circuit resets allowing drive motor to feed wire again. Or you can reset it manually by pressing the reset button located on the back welder. If these actions does not work then here's the part number for your motor:HOB 239696.Check our website for pricing you need to call since this is an old welder and pricing needs to be search at Hobart Co.http://www.praxairdirect.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/TopCategories1_10152_10051_-1

Tear it down JUST far enough to gain access to the switch,check for and correct :corrosion,rust,oil or grease buildup,and/or damaged contact(s) at that station. That doesn't work,replace the switching unit.

Good luck.

Hi:

If you are in the USA, check WWW.Praxair.com for your nearest welding store they will help you, Praxair has more than 1000 retail stores in the USA.
If you can make the motor to work just by by-passing the switch then your problem relies on the gun switch, that's an easy fix.

Just an advice; stop buying clarks, it is pretty defficult to obtain speare parts. Lincoln, Miller, Hobart or any other american machine are easier to find parts and are pretty good welders.

You can order it on-line. Follow the link below.

I always tell my customers that the best machine for a body shop is a millermatic 212 if you have 220V available if not, go to a Millermatic 211 this is one is a dual voltage unit 110V/220V. if you can afford it buy a spool gun SG100 for all aluminum parts, the machine will cost you 999.00 and the spool gun 215.00. Best investment ever for your shop.

Melt?? well looks like you had a burnback problem. There are contact tips, nozzles and gun liner available. Go to your nearest welding shop and ask for them. Around 35 bucks for all three (if you need the gas mixer known also as tip holder add 10 buck more).
To avoid burnbacks, reduce your voltage or increase your wire speed.

The most common problem is that people still try and run the welder with extension cords. 10 ft,25ft,50ft,100ft, these cords all drain and can't supply the energy needed as if you were to plug it straight into a wall outlet. well I don't have a plug outlet where my work is, I need a extention cord. The only solution for not having a handy outlet is a Generator. that will supply the necessary voltage needed to do the job. EXTENSION CORDS ARE A NO NO. also, always double check your ground.

Hope this was helpful, please post a rating good or bad, thank you.

Irractic welding, hot leads, and voltage drops. You need to size your welding leads accordingly.

These guys claim to have parts. I too am looking. My Guess is that the welder itself is probably a generic one that gets many brands applied to it. Often is the case with tools these days.
