Sureweld Welder Help?

[ken stewart]

Hello All,
Does anyone have any info on Sureweld welders made by the National Cyl. Gas Company, model HGW-150P, spec: 5CK-330P/1AA, ser: 104B508100? Specifically about the out-puts of generator head (AC or DC) and replacement bands for the Current Selector. The old twin Onan is running well now and I’d like to start work on the electrical side. Thanks, ken

Ken,
I would have to go look at my welder, but I think those bands are really just resistors. I doubt you are going to find replacements, but I'll bet you could rig something up with a couple of power resistors. A couple of BIG power resistors... I am going to be out of town for the next couple of days, but when I get back I'll go poke my head underneath the welder and see what I can figure out for you. I can't remember the model number right now, but my welder has a DC welding output and an AC electrical outlet. You can't use them both simultaneously, as the engine needs to operate at 1800 RPM for the AC and 2200 RPM or so for the DC. I know this isn't much help right now, but I'll get some more info for you. Hope this helps!

Daniel,
I posted a reply to your question on a "starter" for your Onan. I don't know exactly where your thread is, but you have found mine. Email me directly at (kstewart@arinc.com) and I can tell you what starter system was installed on mine. ken

I have the same model welder/generator Ser. # 68-387668E and am looking for engine parts specifically a fuel pump repair/rebuild kit, Unit functions if I gravity feed the carb. Sorry Ken I really do not know much about about the Electrical workings of it just that it works , Any help on the fuel pump situation would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Andy
