cool old workhorse. wisconsin seems to have a slight miss at idle. might check the choke butterfly is all the way opened just slightly past vertical.
MY machine is a 1945 Hobart brothers 300 amp dc with remote. Wisconsin v4 from 1965. smooth as butter and can arc gouge with an air compressor. anyone know how to set up an auto idle for my machine, as it has a constant rpm governor now. safetyfirtstintexas, gmail, com
I had a welder very much like that one. The one I had dident have amp control on it. It had three post you had to change for current and rev the engine up and down for fine control. They told me that it was a pipe liner jounior
my dad has one of these too! i was hand crank starting it 20 years ago , and the crank sliped off the pin and hit me in the face. I have scares to prove it too! Nice welder guys !
really i dont know how much its worth, but it is a nice piece of machine, im not sure what year that machine is but i have a newer version of that one some people call it "short hood" mine is a 1956 i think, not a 100% sure but it nice also right now its getting overhaul. go check my welding rig out.. texas pipeliners rig !!!
