A look at my Hobart G-213 Welder Generator

Just picked this up off Ebay, it needs restoring... badly. It's a Hobart G-213 welder/generator. It is powered by a Wisconsin TJD 2 cylinder petrol engine. Output is 200 amps. Duty cycle is actually 100 % !! We rebuilt the carburetor and fuel pump and it's already running well now. Beleive it or not, those valves were even noisier when i first started it, I have since adjusted them to spec which is 8 thou inlet and 16 thou exhaust. They were looser than this before. Still seems like a pretty wide clearance, but I assume this is because because it's an air cooled engine. Looks like the rest will be just cosmetics, everything seems to work well. See next video to hear it under load, doing a bit of welding.
