MY LINCOLN WIRE-WELDOR QUIT .... IT STARTS AND FEEDS WIRE BUT NO SPARK IN ANY SETTING. WHEN I TRIGGER THE HANDLE IT CLICKS LIKE NORMAL BUT NO VOLTAGE MAKES IT . 1 USE CO2 MIXTURE

Most mig welders use an electro-mechanical contactor to switch the welding current through to the torch and others use an electronic means.

The heavy current transformer, rectifier and chokes are robust and rarely fail. If welding a high duty cycle they are protected by a thermal breaker that cuts the power until the unit has cooled.

You need to check welding current is available from the transformer, through the rectifier and choke and if so the problem is likely with the contactor.

How do you wire the old lincoln 225 ac welder

What are you wiring? Power Cord? Fan? Transformer? You should see a white wiring block in the lower right corner if you are looking from the back. On the two top post the black and white wires are attached. The green ground wire is attached to the case. On the two bottom poles the fan lines attach one on each side and the transformer wires that are coming up from the transformer are attached on the same poles as the fan wires.

I have a lincoln mig pro 140. Its fairly new. I took out and replaced the liner due to aluminum wire getting stuck stuck. And now when i turn on the machine the wire feed feeds wire without me pulling the trigger, and when i hit the trigger nothing happens

Your description suggests the wires to the torch trigger have shorted during the liner replacement.

Lincoln gtx 250 weld does not lay down and smooth using 7018 motor runs fine ac plug fine .why want it produce better quality ma?hine has 17 hrs in it

It has been my experience the best flat welding rod is 7024. It is easy to use and forgiving of contact sticking. It has a heavy coating making it easier to keep a consistant gap between rod and workpiece. I always liked 7018 for vertical welding. I hope this helps you out.

My ranger 275 Lincoln welder loses power to the solenoid in the bottom of the carburetor after about 3-5 seconds then shuts down it will start right away when I try to start it again.

If the specific model has an autothrottle switch at the control panel,switching off might help.

My Lincoln vantage 300 changes amperage while welding and at idle. Auto idle also stopped working about same time amperage problem began. Sometimes can hold solenoid for approx. 12 sec. and it will click in and hold till strike arc.

I got a Lincoln weld an power 150 ac but got very weak arc what can I do to modify it economicly

The best upgrade to do first is upgrading the pitiful ground clamp that comes on these, same for any modern welder, I got one from Harbor Freight for $90, and a Lincoln for $369, both had the same pitiful ground clamp. I'll attach a picture/link to a sufficient clamp- it made a huge difference with mine! Tips and the Wire You Use can make a big difference too! Larger Wire is Helpful Too- I'm talking about larger gauge wire that runs to attaches to your ground clamp, try the clamp first and see if it helps, be sure your settings are right and you're plugged directly in to a good power source, no extension cords! https://www.ebay.com/itm/300Amp-Earth-Ground-Clamp-Welding-Manual-Welder-for-Professional-Use-175mm/132064190663?hash=item1ebfa3a0c7:g:yFoAAOSw259cTqxO

Lincoln 140 overheating fan stays on after awhile I can weld then it will shut down agian

all welders have a duty cycle
That is the length of time that welding can take place before the system shuts down
The time period depends on the amps setting and the higher the amps , the shorter the time
welding at 140 amps the time can be as short as 3 minutes
welding at 20 amps it can be as long as 20 minutes
the duty cycle is normally calculated at around 10% use and 90% cool down
