Welding Tips and Tricks is a good podcast to listen to when wanting to learn to weld a little better. The experience they have is outstanding, and can help us hobbyists from making mistakes. The episode I am referring to now, they talked about engine driven welders. While I don’t have one, they mainly talked about small engine maintenance. Most of us DIY types have a few small engines to maintain. So, on a sunny afternoon, these three were drug out and ran for a while. Good thing, as two of them didn’t want to start easily. A tip I heard on the podcast was to get gasoline without ethanol. I will get that next time I need to buy a jug of gas.
