Check your wire speed theostat (potentiometer), that could be the reason there is no power for the motor drive.

Hi:

Hate to say it but sound like you blew the transformer. Sniff inside the machine and if it smells like burned paint/cable; then is time to call the maintenance guy. If you prefer to fix it your self, the part number you are looking for is: WE44120087. Make sure you make the smell test first.

pulling to many amps out of your house turn stuff of and dont run your welder so hot anythin your not useing turn off before welding

Check the heat resistor which is located on the circuit board behind the wire speed dial! Looks like a white oblong component and tends to desolder itself through heat on the board! Resolder it back in and it should work again!

manuals are available from their website Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/sean_54c3a3dc48a7773c

it realy depends on were you are welding,, if indoors at about 2 - 4 psi no more,,, if out of doors you will need a higher presher say 5 - 7psi
if the wind is blowing the gas away you wont be able to weld very well so keep out of the wind when out of doors all you realy need is a puff of gas to form a bubbel around your weld,,,

are you sure you have the right plug?wite wires are normaly found only on 120v and 347v systems. but if it realy is 240v then black to black, red to wite and yellow/green to green.

try rs components , they should have exact match for most fans. as long as you know voltage and dimensions of original

Hi if you want to mail me some pics through i have various sockets etc that will replace this. [email protected]

I would run a 10 AWG wire from the breaker to the outlet, if that is what you are asking. I have the same welder works great just wish I could find a spare wire roller.

your showing a lwelder it would be nice if you post the picture on photo bucket so that I can look then I can tell you how to fix if it is possible. post it here if yo can do so.

Contact clark, you may find one on Ebay.

I have the same welder which has also just had the rectifier go bad but I haven't taken it apart yet. Only removed the cover and discovered the trouble is with the rectifier. If the washers/spacers you are talking about are the ones which are part of the rectifier assembly, I'd be happy to lay mine out in the order in which they go as I disassemble it and take a digital photo of them for you to look at.
I also have a question for you. I've learned that Clarke has filed for chapter 11 bankrupcy and are no longer selling welders or parts. I've contacted the local repair people in our area and have not found any one willing to help me locate the parts I need. Would you be willing to provide me with the name and contact information of the people who serviced your welder? My email address is [email protected] if you wish to respond to my offer or request.
Either way, thanks for you time and best of luck with your welder.

i have in the past seen the earth wire inside the machine become loose and melted due to high out put welding on a machine just like this if your not an electrician don't try to fix it. but if you still want to you will need to disconnect the power supply and remove the cover follow the earth lead wire thou the case and then to the transformer you will see a joint just check that is a good joint

good luck JR

The instructions are on the other side of the panel that you lift to install your spool/wire. If they are missing call a distributor for it. Good Luck.
