i was given a miller bluestar 200 amp ac/dc thats been sitting about 15 yrs. some parts missing but i put a little gas directly in the carb to check out the motor and it fired right up. question is does anybody know where i can get the throttle linkage, its all gone. and also what goes on the opposite side of the carb where the three wire connector is?? there is also 2 wires coming from the welder with no connector bottom pic. thanks for any info, gonna be a long winter so now i have something to do. serial number is je817395 Attached Images
Reply:Based on what I can see is missing on that Tecumseh, my suggestion would be to find a small engine shop that might have a blown motor you could buy for the necessary parts.As for the wiring, I'd download the unit manual here http://www.millerwelds.com/om/o424a_mil.pdf and start sorting thru it by comparing what is physically there and that in the wiring schematic. Once you identify a particular wire number it's easy to figure out what is what and go from there.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 didnt know if the linkage was miller specific or not. looks like maybe a rectifier is missing on the other side. i know its old and crusty but i"m bored and want it back together and running. tired of working on cars,this old welder will be a change.
Reply:Looks like KellyV's post got you to thinking about this old machine again. Sounds good that it fired right up after all these years, must have been store with a dry carb. I can't help much in the technical part of getting it going again, but I wish you and KellyV good luck on getting your old welders back up and running like they should be. I hope you both end up gettin'em running like new again
Reply:thanks bistineau, a local shop has the gas tank and governer linkage for 25 bucks. i hate seeing old cars and welders go to a scrap pile. i saved a old montgomery wards ac/dc buzzbox from the scrap pile. its butt ugly but works just fine. this bluestar will live again.
Reply:has anybody got any recomendations for cleaning the insides of the welder part??
Reply:Low pressure pressure wash is what I do. Blow dry with compressed air and let sit in the sun for a few hours. If it's not sunny or too cold, set up a heater to blow warm air on it for an hour or so.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!

Maybe there won't be any big issues with the internal guts to fix maybe just put the wiring back the way it's supposed to be and some clean up. Make your Dad proud that he gave it to you and let him see it welding again. If he's still able let him run a few beads for old time sake.
Reply:got it running,check generator works fine at the 110 plugs. no power at the welding leads,wont weld.
Reply:anybody know what these 2 wires go to??? dont go to the idleup solenoid. 1 may be a ign kill wire ,what about the other?? Attached Images |
