Hi everybody, I recently aquired a welder generator set, powered by a 16hp B&S Vanguard “V” twin. The engine runs a treat, but electrical power and welding power is virtually non existent. I contacted Clarke service, but no joy. Inside I have found a burnt component, varistor / capacitor? Fitted across the positive and negative terminals on a small bridge rectifier, which possibly feeds the brushes? After disconnecting this component, the welding and 230v / 110v sides all appears to work fine. My question is, “How do I find the specs for this component, does anyone here have any knowledge of this particular unit?
Thanks in anticipation
Doug.
