My Hobart champion 145 welder/generator isn't producing any electricity to 110 outlets and very weak to welding leads. Engine loads up when amp dial is increased. what could cause this?

SOURCE: Miller Big 40 will not weld and has no current at the A/C outlet

open inspection door,which also the fine tuner knob is ,there's a 2x4 size circut board that snaps out with little force to remove,this is the voltage regulator board,look for 4700 ohm resisitor burnt into,tv tech can fix or order new board at $227.00 what i paid.

SOURCE: welder will not power auxillary outlets

sounds like either something is shorted out or the governor is stuck. Check the governor linkage to start with and make sure it is free. Then check the push in breakers for the outlets to see if they are popped. If not the brushes or the armature could be stuck or corroded.

SOURCE: Welding breaker keeps popping on my Hobart Champion 10,000.

look for short inside unit,start at breaker and work your way back.

SOURCE: NO arc or power on my Welder/Generator

check your back panel fuss and brakers

SOURCE: I have a Hobart Champion 10,000 welder generator.

measure ouput on ALL available sockets - anything?
Take cover off electric motor-generator, visually inspect windings.
Measure continuity of all stator windings (2 or 3 points usually)
Measure continuity of stator thru brushset.
If all measures ok - has to be AVR module.

There is no mistery in generator - just stator to induce and rotor to obtain voltage.
