Can anybody help?

Hi, I've got a customer with one of these that he's looking to resurrect. Do any of you have info or parts available for a machine like this one?

MaxArc stopped trading years ago and the engines a JLO which was also out of production years ago as well.

Interesting compression of picture as well, a bit Keystone Cops-ish for those old enough to remember......


Would you like this to keep it company...

We used to use some mowers with 2 stroke JLO motors when I worked on the school gardens and they were brilliant starters and runners.

My customer asked if I can help him get it going, I'm a bit short on years to have seen one of these so I thought I'd ask on here to see what I'm up against.

Well as far as I'm aware the Maxarc welding alternator is brushless so there shouldn't be a problem there, unless its fubared...

The JLO engine has a points ignition system as far as I am aware (I have a flywheel extraction tool somewhere). Provided you have a spark, compression and fuel/oil mix (20:1) it should run, on my JLO there is/was a button under the carb on the engine casing which is an engine cut out button, check the wiring and disconnect it.

Thanks for the info, I'll give the man a call.
