200D inconsistent idle

admin

Hello,I have a question about my 200D that I have had since I bought it new in 2006. It only has 2100 hours on it but when it is running the idle keeps fluctuating up and down. When I start welding it doesn't fluctuate as bad but still does a little. It doesn't seem to bother the welding but it is annoying to listen to. I replaced the fuel solenoid back in 09 and it ran great after that but then it sat for a lot of years and I only used it now and then around the place. I would appreciate it if anyone could possible know the problem or how I could troubleshoot to find the possible problem.Thank you,Rigwelder64
