Make sure the switch for remote power or control at machine is on the right setting. It will arc but very faint if this switch is not on the right setting.

Sounds like you need a tune up. Check or replace spark plugs, air filter, fuel filter, carberator, and idle linkages.
SOURCE: speed will not kick up when arc is struck
There are CT;s (current transformers) that the transformer output runs through and the AC outlets which sense the current flow and throttle it up from the control board.
Also, Is the throttle linkage free , not jammed up??

check your input power connections on the primary side of the welders transformer, then if its an infinite control welder check that control,otherwise if it's a plug- in selectable amperage check these connections,it sounds like the infinite control is getting dirty and not passing all the current it shows on the control, also double your O.C.V. on the secondary and see if its with-in welder specs

You can find the manuals for sale for almost all Craftsman units at sears.com and navigate to the craftsman site and then to customer service parts and enter the model number and they will typically show you a parts breakdown of the unit and also offer replacement manuals for sale.
