Hey everybody long time since I've been on life's like that but I purchased a weldanpower 150 today for $150. Got the old Kohler motor. Original owner said it welded 2 years ago but when they fired it up this year it would weld or put out through the 110 outlets. I'm thinking either wiring problem from mice or the slip rings and brushes. Also another thing is I've looked all over online. The fuel in it smells like a 4 stroke mix. Are these machines supposed to be 4 stroke? If not Where's the oil filter, dipstick, and drain? I appreciate all help thank you guys also apolize if this is in the wrong sectionLast edited by bbertb; 3 Days Ago at 05:21 PM.
Reply:I asume you mean it wouldn't weld or make 110v. I've never heard of 4 stroke mix. Do you mean 2 stroke mix?? I don't know if Kohler ever made a 2 stroke engine. It probably doesn't have an oil filter and maybe not a dipstick. Instead it probably has a plastic or metal plug at a 45* angle down low on the block and the oil level should be to the lip of that hole. A drain plug is probably down low on the side of the block at the bottom. Just bear in mind this is free advice and worth every penny, LOL!!Ol' Stonebreaker "Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes"Hobart G-213 portableMiller 175 migMiller thunderbolt ac/dc stick Victor O/A setupMakita chop saw
Reply:That makes complete sense cause there's a bolt at the bottom of the pan whys there no dipstick?

And confirming its filterless helps alot. Theres a tag on the side saying the oil was changed in 2017 so I defeiently want to change it and maybe the gas in it is just bad it's been in there so long. I'm gonna change the oil, drain the tank and fill it with fresh gas, change the plug(and probably the wire if I can find one), spray some carb cleaner and see if that'll make it run. If it does I'll move onto the generator after thatYes I did this is all new to me sorry if im sounding super stupid
Reply:Here's a previous thread with a Weldanpower 150 with a Kohler K241 engine:https://weldingweb.com/vbb/threads/6...-150-Code-8678Post #23 shows the carburetor engine side. The lower 3/4 NPT square headed plug is for oil drain and the one above it is for the dipstick. Unscrew it and you will find a 3/16" rod with hash-marks showing the H and L for the oil level.Here's an owner's manual for Kohler K-series engines:http://www.kohlerengines.com/engines...1346_c_all.pdfEdit:Here's a good website for info on Kohler engines:http://gardentractorpullingtips.com/engine.htmLast edited by Denis G; 1 Day Ago at 09:29 AM.

Reply:I did find the top square headed bolt is the dipstick and the side one is the drain. Oils thin and smells like gas so when im off im gonna let that drain out real good. Drained the fuel out tonight it don't look to pretty. I'm gonna get some 1/4" fuel line and a new inline filter for it next Thursday when I get paid and a new spark plug. Probably gonna take the carb off tomorrow after work and take it to my buddy at work and see if he can clean it out for me. After that it'll hopefully run then i can move onto what's wrong with the generator, if there is anything hopefully there isn't. I wanted to replace the plug wire but it looks like it goes deeper then im willing to get into it and the wire isn't cracked or anything so I'm gonna leave it be for now
