    Hobart DCC-353-P welder issue

    Hi all! I picked this Hobart welder up recently, have done a few repairs to it such as a blown out capacitor in the voltage regulator and the previous owner wired the new ignition switch in wrong. Mike at Midwest welding tested the voltage regulator, it was good. Motor runs excellent as well...

    Help with Hobart Navy Welder

    Contacting Hobart directly worked! It wasn't for the exact spec welder I had but is close enough to get me going! There is an odd wire from the resistor for the coil going directly to the battery from the previous owner... No wonder it didn't want to shut off on its own! Time to tune the...

    7.3 V8 normal aspirated Diesel engine problem

    I'd beware of using the glow plugs longer than 15 seconds. If you do decide to go back to using the controller, one of the screw in solid state controllers has worked flawlessly for me for quite a long time. Usually these trucks only need about 8 seconds of lit glow plugs in 40 degree weather...

    7.3 V8 normal aspirated Diesel engine problem

    These IDI's are fun and work great when they are working. You might want to put new O-rings and return lines on it, the kit is 45 bucks. I'd leave the injectors in and not do the copper washers just yet. Pop all the return lines and plastic caps off, pick both O-rings off the injector. lube...

    New hidden links popping up.

    My first step too is to remove nortons, tell them to stop watching all the porn, then to install Spybot: search and destroy, then microsoft security essentials and mozilla firefox. I rarely ever get calls back for more issues. Its usually to do the same thing to other PC's
