take it in for a check of the relay for the wire that turns on the power when the trigger is pressed that relay activates the gas solenoid and the power to weld

Hi is the air pressure set correctly? too much air prevents strike of plasma is air CLEAN and DRY?

Hey Joe, Sounds like a fuel starvation issue... the needle/seat/float that controls the flow of gas into the carburetor is probably sticking and letting a TINY amount of fuel in the carb,, running the engine burns it dry too quick and quits... takes a few minutes for it to refill, then you start it, and run it dry again,, (repeat-repeat-repeat).. sound about right?? Take it to any GOOD small engine mechanic... they can clean and set the carburetor... this is no biggie.. just very aggravating.. Good luck! .please mark as helpful...

You are probably going to have to replace the complete assembly, and it is probably going to cost about $150. I would contact Hobart by phone with your serial #, and they should have the correct part# , since there is no parts list in your manual, and none seem to be available on line. BRwelders has part# 210010 listed but may not be correct, since it is for the 120. http://www.brwelder.com/kit-feed-mot...er-120-210010/

Not really. You can purchase aluminum stick electrodes, but they generally don't work that well. You will find it best just for steel.

Any welding supply store should be able to get you one. It comes from Miller.

I assume it is a low voltage tap off the welders generator that supplies voltage for welding.

bad ground connect , either on the job, at the cable ends or in the machine

May need to take gun apart and see if trigger is sticking or replace lead. we use Miller at work. The feeder has a switch that makes the trigger turn off and on with quick pull of trigger so you don't have to hold it entire time. check wiring to make sure it's wired right so your not bypassing the trigger switch. hope it helps.

What is the duty cycle of the welder?

Those parts have long been discontinued. www.usaweld.com has a conversion kit that will convert the original Piecemaker 14A gun to the current hobart H10 parts.

Bob, Those parts have long been discontinued. www.usaweld.com might have an adapter kit if you have a piecemaker 14A gun, or they have a complete replacement welding gun.

Check the Switch on the handle. Many times the two wires from the trigger down to the Mig Unit break or get a bad connection

Look under welder dealers in your town. Most will be able to sell you parts or order what you need.

Check to see if the wire feed pressure is set correctly. Sounds like it's a little loose.

Not a question.
