On it's last leg, abandoned, orphaned and not loved.... Until now!
Welder generators are not common in the DIY world but here are a few you can buy new:
7hp 2200 watts w/120A Stick : https://amzn.to/3Byhg8A
15hp 2000watt w/210A stick and tig features: https://amzn.to/3B6DXiD
HOBART 145(newer model of video welder): https://store.cyberweld.com/hoch145we...
Honda powered 1500watt w/135A stick: https://amzn.to/3RA4WdG
note: I have not used any of these personally. They are pricey but there are a few cheaper options, read below.
Thoughts:
I've owned a few welder generators over the years and this is my second compact portable one. I'm really impressed by their welding ability and being portable is a huge plus. This Hobart 140(built 1994) is a capable machine and you could easily tackle some 1/4" or thicker steel. The last one I owned was a Honda unit; EW171 and that was impressive as well. They look like a Honda construction generator but put out 4k watts and 170A DC welding. They typically sell for dirt cheap used(a few hundred bucks) and are well worth it. They also came a little small in the EW140 and older EW170. If you find one, buy it.
NON DETERGENT OIL CLARIFICATION
If your engine doesn't have an oil filter you should use non detergent. "Detergent" simply suspends all the bad crap for an oil filter to remove. No oil filter and you're just pushing all the bad crap through your engine, bearings, cam lobes, etc over and over. Non detergent allows all this bad crap to fall to the bottom, out of the way and only clean oil is recirculated.
Before oil filters became standard in a car engine(1950's) detergent oil wasn't a thing. you wanted all the carbon, metal flakes, water, dirt to fall to the oil pan to be drained out with oil changes. Detergent (soap) simply bonds to bad crap and the oil filter grabs it.
