Mine is powered by a 4 cylinder Wiscinsin air-cooled engine. Welds greats. WIsh I could find a schematic of the welder/generator, though...anybody have any ideas about how to find one? ~martin I’ve got one of these, too.

The general consensus is that they're smooth as silk. But i think that's pretty typical of most any motor or engine driven generator/welder. That's definitely a large electric motor your using on that. Assuming the windings would hold up, i'd suspect 200 amps may be on the low end!

Mine is 400 Amps, Driven by 25 HP 3 Phase Motor. The fan is the loudest, it really moves the air. I think you can pull 200+ amps out of this thing all day long, with no problem. Quite a step up from a buzz box syle welder. Very smooth and very hot, set to about 30% less amps than buzz box. About a year ago, I got an almost new, Miller Aerowave. I don't have room for both of them, so the Hobart just sits in storage. ;o( Have been using one of these for the past 10 years.

If you'd like, you can register and post a request for one on the forum. There is a board set up for people looking for specific welding equipment. http://stickweld.com/forum/index.php/board,22.0.htmlHope that helps! Sorry, but I don’t have one to sell.
