    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.

    In the beginning, the Earth was without form, and void.
    When one picks up some wood or metal or stone and shapes it into something usefull
    ... I beleive that it has to be a deliberate effort to disavow a creator.

    As you work these, and join them, you feel the force and the will of He
    who formed and shaped the very resorces that you now add your will and force to.
    Further one surely can know when your will and force is not aligned with His.

    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 )
