    Hobart Titan 8 combo welder / generator CC/CV 18hp kohler $400

    EDIT: SOLD for $400
    Well, I figured I should get my Hobart Titan 8 combo out of the garage and let it run for a while and change the oil and what not. I only use it to power my house when the power goes out and I havent ran it in a couple of years.
    Well I drained the old gas, added fresh gas and it started up but then after about 10 sec it started to smoke ( exhaust ) and then stopped running. After some messing around for a couple of min. I pulled a plug and it was soaked with fuel. I dried the plugs and put them back in and it started right up but then did the same thing and loaded up on fuel. Also I noticed fuel dripping from the bottom of the carb. SO, I think the float is stuck and flooding the plugs and also filling the carb. It never did this before and I don't want to mess with it.
    It has ac / dc , CC / CV

    Thumbs up You or a buy-er..........

    Will have an easy fix, sunken float (or stuck) is an easy fix.
    Nice price too, considering it doubles as a home-generator.
    Too far away for me.

    Ya, I assumed a stuck float. I have 3 other generators and no need for it as a welder. Any how, it sold very quickly this morning ( after 2 guys argued over it )
