Not usually, BUT if it was run hot enough, the valves may have stuck in the guides and been slapped my the piston, snapping them off or knocking a chunk of valve guide loose, which became a wedge/plug smasher.

Just doing Scout II for now but I've seen pics of the 1 setup with HB mounted to a firewallbracket like the C1000 an fit with an Astro HB/MC, looks to need 6* angle on it there but it fits even with the firewall bracket which I don't know if that's mandatory to keep. I do like staying in keeping with the OEM look as much as possible though. Thanks for the feedback!

I've got two generators... only need one... well, actually don't need any, we rarely lose power... BUT, my "shop" doesn't have the wiring to support a welder. So a generator makes sense, plus it's portable, can toss it in my truck... no outlet required. ;) Both of my generators are 4.4KW... one is a gas Linconln with the welder built in, the other is a Diesel electric start, but no welder. I've been trying to sell the Diesel Generator, no nibbles... I just replaced the battery, electric start works nicely... prefer Diesel. so, I'm thinking of selling the (new) gas gen welder and buying a cheap wire feed from harbor fright... don't use a welder often and thinking it'll be fine. cheap wire feed or limited stick? THE QUESTION FOR THE COLLECTIVE: - ---------------------------------- HOW WOULD THE WIRE FEED FROM HARBOR FRIGHT COMPARE TO THE BUILT IN WELDER? The duty cycle on the wire feed is less than the Lincoln/gen/weld, but wire feed is a lot easier to use than a stick welder... I think both are limited in how thick they'll weld... if they're about equal keeping the Diesel and buying the separate wire feed would be my choice... gasoline stinks and doesn't run as long as Diesel... - ---------------------------------- GAS Gen/Welder - Lincoln Power Arc 4000 - 4.4Kw brand new... never used... well, ran it for an hour. had to buy welding cables for it... made them extra long $$ SPECS: RATED OUTPUT - WELDER Duty Cycle Amps Volts at Rated Amperes 30% Duty Cycle 125 20 VAC 60% Duty Cycle 100 25 VAC OUTPUT - WELDER AND GENERATOR Welding Ranges Welder Open Circuit Voltage AC Auxiliary Power 70 - 125 Amps 62 VAC Max. 4000 Continuous Watts 4400 Surge Watts and the DIESEL generator (Eastern Tools & Equipment ) 4.4kW, about 1226 hrs on it. just put a new battery in it, works great... turns right on. http://wagoneers.com/tmp/cl-items/DieselGen/JEM_5658_2009_11_14.jpg WIRE FEED SPECS: (on sale for $94.99, normally $150) - ------------------------ http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=98871 90 Amp Flux Wire Welder (1.7Kw) No Gas Required! 90 Amp flux wire welder specifically designed to use self-shielding flux-cored welding wire, eliminating any need for gas and regulators normal MIG welders require. * Includes 4" spool of flux-core wire and spare welding tip * Self-regulating feed control * Thermal protection with warning light * Carry handle on lid * Input: 115 volt, 15 amps, single phase * Duty cycle: 10% -at- 80 amps, 18% -at- 60 amps * Wire capacity: 0.030" ----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold http://AMSOIL.com/redirect.cgi?zo=283461 http://creationwiki.org http://johnmeister.com http://wagoneers.com http://fotomeister.us - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------ End of fsj-digest V1 #3474 **************************
