Please can you help? Unit will in about 5 minutes of running after start up, idle up if AC 120 volt circuit (light bulb) is activated, utilized, used at idle point. Open voltage at welder output terminals is 0 volts at idle, at this point, unless engine speed is raised to about 1800 rpm, and at this point, spark up occurs, output voltage varies between 6 and 18 volts at this point. It has been suggested that capacitor bank is week. It was tested and readings were 80 mfd at 365 volts on all caps.

Wolfpac 270, No Spark Up At Idle

I hope this helps someone. I talked to a tech and he told me of a built in timer to cause a delay to go to "normal" operation, manual mode, spark up and ac speed up. On the mother or main board, top left hand corner, there is a pair of pins that activate the timer. The manufacturer soldered a jumper across those pins , and at the dealers discretion, it could be removed , if the owner wished. Without the pins joined together, we have a great operating unit. The manufacturer had the idea of a warm up period, but also left owner with option of a zero warm up period.
