I've got a 1980 SA 200 code 8244 that i'm trying to get running for a friend.The engines not running but turns over. So far the exciter coils aren't showing any ohm's resistance on the hard wire side, and nothing on the soft wires. Today i used my welder (sa200) using reverse polarity at the leads to see if it would spin the generator over, and it did. My Question is, does this mean that the exciter coils are still good in the main generator?  I gotta thank Hobo Hilton for posting on the Youtube  on how to crank an sa 200 welder using the leads from another sa 200 welderSA 200s : 1944 1945 1963 1965 1969 1981 SA 250 D3.152 DC only2004 Ranger 10,000Lincoln Pro Mig 135Miller Load BankHobart GPB 258 PipelinerHobart GPB 261 MainlinerHobart Airforce 250Everlast PA 200st
Reply:First things first, get the motor running. The generator will be easier to trouble shoot and if the motor is no good it will save you slot of head aches.sent while goofing off at workLong after the price is forgotten, the quality will remain.Both of my Poppy's 1954 Short Hoods -Third generation to weld with it and teaching a fourthSA 2## - Bought and sold more than I can remember or care to list, 8 in the shop right now
Reply:I agree with Adam on getting the engine running first but if you're not getting any reading on the stranded leads from the exciter coils then it's likely one or both have an open in the windings.  The solid wire leads will show very little resistance if they're OK.If you're not getting spark from the mag (presuming it's mag equipped) a likely cause is "crusty" breaker points if the unit has been sitting for a long period of time.For the record, the "exciter" coils (combination shunt and series) are in the smaller exciter housing and not the main generator.  I believe what you're referring to are the main shunt coils that are separate from the series and interpole coils of the main generator and no, the fact you're able to turn the unit over using a second SA200 only means the main series and interpole coils are OK as the main shunt coils aren't in the picture during the process.  A resistance check across the black and brown main shunt coil leads will tell you their condition.MM200 w/Spoolmatic 1Syncrowave 180SDBobcat 225G Plus - LP/NGMUTT Suitcase WirefeederWC-1S/Spoolmatic 1HF-251D-1PakMaster 100XL '68 Red Face Code #6633 projectStar Jet 21-110Save Second Base!
Reply:Thank You Duaneb55, I've been studying the Lincoln manual, and I'm starting to understand how it all works. But im seeing others testing diffrently. So if I ohm the blue and brown wires coming out of the main generator I should be showing  46 ohms. The exciter coils should be showing between 130 and 164 ohms , is that how it should be reading?
Reply:The engine was froze up got it loose. The mag was missing , so I found another one. Pulled the oil pan and had some sludge. I pulled the pistons and they looked good along with the cylinders measuring within specs to go back with standard rings. All the valve are in need of replacement. I got faith with engine will be fine. Just hoping to get things straight with the rest of it.

Reply:Thanks again Duaneb55, Hope im doing this right, according to info i got from Weld-mart, to test the exciter coils, is to locate the hard wire that has a bolt and nut spice and seperate the wires for testing. What i did was pull the brushes out, unbolted the splice, seperated all the wires to issolated them from the main generator. ohmed both the hard wires and the soft wires. Hard wire was showing 000.0, soft wire showed nothing at all. Doesn't look to good Am i doing this correctly.SA 200s : 1944 1945 1963 1965 1969 1981 SA 250 D3.152 DC only2004 Ranger 10,000Lincoln Pro Mig 135Miller Load BankHobart GPB 258 PipelinerHobart GPB 261 MainlinerHobart Airforce 250Everlast PA 200st

Reply:The reason for disconnecting the exciter series coil solid wire from the red lead going to the auxiliary outlet and on to the rheostat and lifting one of the exciter brushes from the exciter armature is to avoid a false resistance reading when checking the exciter shunt coils (stranded wires).I just remove both stranded shunt coils wires from the brush holder studs and check across them (red arrows) for the 130/167ohms +/-10% depending on if copper or aluminum windings and this eliminates any question.If you find there is an opening (no reading) you'll need to replace the set as they are not available individually.MM200 w/Spoolmatic 1Syncrowave 180SDBobcat 225G Plus - LP/NGMUTT Suitcase WirefeederWC-1S/Spoolmatic 1HF-251D-1PakMaster 100XL '68 Red Face Code #6633 projectStar Jet 21-110Save Second Base!

Reply:No, I was going to order a new one, but actually the original bearing felt smooth and tight so i packed about two table spoons full of Lucas high speed wheel bearing grease. I figured That amount of grease was enough before it starts coming out the back side and slinging out. I guess Lincolns theory was to use the pipe plug instead of a zerk fitting so you wouldn't push excessive lubricant all over and it would just slowly fall into the gap of the bearing.SA 200s : 1944 1945 1963 1965 1969 1981 SA 250 D3.152 DC only2004 Ranger 10,000Lincoln Pro Mig 135Miller Load BankHobart GPB 258 PipelinerHobart GPB 261 MainlinerHobart Airforce 250Everlast PA 200st
ReplySA 200 Blackface Revivalooking at the Selector switch, All the time this machine sat out in the weather, from the last time it was used, It was true that this machine was a rental and was used for arc gouging according to the previous owner. No wonder the shunt coils went out. That was the reason the machine was parked and never used again. This Aluminum wound machine took some abuse.

Reply:Well...Here's an update on the machine. Got everything wired up, hook up the battery and turned it over without the spark plugs to see that my oil light and volt gauge was working and to build oil pressure up in the engine. All looked good so far, so i put the spark plugs back in and added gas to the carb, then hit the button and it back fired two times, so i checked the timing and everything was right on, dots on the gears were all lined up along with the flywheel mark. So i tried cranking it again and it would turn over but started getting harder and harder to turn over until it just stopped and locked up. So i took a hand crank and tried moving it, and it wouldn't budge. So i pulled the starter and got a pry bar and budged it back the other way and got it freed up again. I then put the starter back on pulled all the spark plugs out and hit the starter again, and seen puffs of rust coming out of #4 and Zero compression. Not only was their powdered rust coming out but small flakes of rust also. I'm not shure what happened, because it was running great with no smoke after i had put a new set of rings in it and all new valves. Maybe when it back fired it found a weak spot in the head, and now has a hole going into the coolant passage, and that's where the rust and flakes are coming from. I'll pull the head tomorrow and find out. Hoping it's just the head gasket that blowed. That's my only guess. What do guys think?SA 200s : 1944 1945 1963 1965 1969 1981 SA 250 D3.152 DC only2004 Ranger 10,000Lincoln Pro Mig 135Miller Load BankHobart GPB 258 PipelinerHobart GPB 261 MainlinerHobart Airforce 250Everlast PA 200st

Reply:Not all is completely lost.... I decided to go forth and leave the head on and crank the engine up and finally got it running, but just running on three cylinders. I had to find out if everything would work and strike an arc, well it did. I have 80 volts at the welding leads but the aux. plug only has about 60 volts or so. It welded smooth and steady for running on three cylinders. I also noticed that i had to have the ocv and tap control half again higher than on my 85 SA 200 which tells me I'm not getting full power like i should but non the less I'm pretty satisfied to see that it welds very good and I'll have to tear into the engine to make it right. There is evidence of oil on the #4 spark plug which tells me it's ether a cracked piston ring or something else. I'll keep posting and updating.

Reply:OK, This afternoon I pulled the Head and at first notice not only did i see oil on #4 but some on #3 to. Then I noticed that #4 was slightly higher than the deck of the block, I took a couple of flat head screw drivers pulled the whole top half of the piston out of the bore, Man....this welder doesn't want to be revived . The good part is that the cylinder wall amazingly was not scratched or damaged, can't believe it, even after welding with it for 20 mins. Looks like I'll be putting all new pistons and rings in.

Reply:Update...Just installed new pistons and rings,head gasket, and oil pan. Filled with oil and new filter once again. Cranked it over to prime the engine and see the green light come on. Turned the gas on, flipped the toggle switch to the on position, hit the start button and she fired up like she had already been running . Runs a whole lot smoother than before.

ReplySA 200 Blackface Revivalid allot of testing today on my connections and wires to see what was going on and found out that the black wire that normally connects to the (+) POS brush of the exciter was on the (-) Neg brush running from the brown shunt wire and PC board. I guess when I pulled the Exciter coils from the donner machine I mixed them up. I had to take a look at my '85 SA 200 to see how it was, and found the goof up I made. Thing is, all the wiring was at the top of the exciter housing on my '85 model and that's what confused me, because the pics that Weldmart shows, the wiring are on the Bottom. Now at high idle I'm getting 115 volts at the Aux plug and 89 at the welding lugs. and the grinder works strong as it should. I have allot more arc force now than i did before.  9SA 200s : 1944 1945 1963 1965 1969 1981 SA 250 D3.152 DC only2004 Ranger 10,000Lincoln Pro Mig 135Miller Load BankHobart GPB 258 PipelinerHobart GPB 261 MainlinerHobart Airforce 250Everlast PA 200st
Reply:That's great news and good job on tracking it down.  I don't think we could have figured that one out without being there.As for the wiring being on top or bottom., I don't know about when in the '80s they changed but whether routed high or low, connections and brush polarity are the same as you now well know.Last edited by duaneb55; 09-27-2015 at 10:11 AM.MM200 w/Spoolmatic 1Syncrowave 180SDBobcat 225G Plus - LP/NGMUTT Suitcase WirefeederWC-1S/Spoolmatic 1HF-251D-1PakMaster 100XL '68 Red Face Code #6633 projectStar Jet 21-110Save Second Base!
Reply:Thanks Duane, I had to get the welding side of this thing straightened out before i continue to the fitting the new hood and sheet metal. The new water pump i put on started leaking around the backing plate running down the side of the engine so i removed it and took it apart, made some new gaskets and put it back together with some ultra copper silicon sealant, now it shouldn't leak. The problem I found was the backing plate to the pump housing surfaces weren't mating flat to each other and had almost 1/16" gap, even with the gasket in place, so i put the plate in the press and got the bow out of it.     I've been getting that million dollars worth of experience on this project.

Reply:Yeah those water pump backing plates can be a pain.  I've got one where the pitting is better than half way thru in spots.  The pump is rebuilt and ready for quick installation but I wouldn't use this particular backing plate without MIGing or TIGing the worst of them full and grinding back smooth.  In fact, this plate came off another pump and I used the original to replace it some time back.I prefer to use Permatex Aviation #3 Gasket Maker to get the job done there as well as many other applications on these units.  I've tried my other "go to" Permatex High Tack red spray gasket sealer on the pump covers and have had it leak where the Aviation #3 hasn't to date.MM200 w/Spoolmatic 1Syncrowave 180SDBobcat 225G Plus - LP/NGMUTT Suitcase WirefeederWC-1S/Spoolmatic 1HF-251D-1PakMaster 100XL '68 Red Face Code #6633 projectStar Jet 21-110Save Second Base!

I finally got around to hooking up the load bank to see what she had. 1st Test: Punch marks aligned on rack 3 gear and 50 ocv= 13.9 volt & 119 amps 4 gear and 100 ocv= 24.3 volts & 206 amps Max = 30.4 volts & 226 amps No load @ 1550 = 87.7 @ Max OCV at the terminals Aux Plug= 110 volts2nd Test after bumping the rack one half the mark against rotation 3rd gear and 100 ocv = 21.7 volts & 162 amps 4th gear and 100 ocv = 23.3 volts & 210 amps Max = 28.7 volts & 258 amps  No load @ 1550 = 92.7 @ max OCV at the terminals Aux plug = 118 voltsThis was as close as i could get to 93 volts @ 1550 rating without going any higher, Does the Max Volts and Amps sound low, It welds very good when I dial it in to burn what ever I rod I use.
