Had some garage therapy time today and decided to try to get my dad's old Lincoln weld and power 125 running again after a long sleep.
siphoned off about .5 gallon of varnish, I mean gasoline.... Nasty stinky stuff.
Drained the bowl on the separator and the carb.
Drained the oil.
Put fuel in with some sea foam.
Put in new oil with some sea foam.
Pulled the start cord a few times .
Pulled the plug. Good shape and good spark.
Pulled the drain plug from the carb again. Finally got some fuel up there and the damn thing started.
Plugged in my wife's hair drier to load it up.
It works!!!
Ran it out of fuel. Changed the oil again.
My dad would have approved of the lifting methodology getting the rig onto the work bench.
Sorry no pics....
