Thermal Arc power plus predator

[mass welder]

Anyone know if these are good welder's?

Can't say about that particular unit but I have a TA Fab 251 mig, and a
TD Cutmaster 51 plasma both excellent machines.

See if you can test drive and compare features and price with other
products in the class.

Thermal arc predator

I bought 1 in 1999 and it welded real good. But I started having problems starting it about 2 years ago and now it won't start at all. It has the GX620 Honda motor and I do believe the carburator is the problem. When it was running I have air arc with it and also we had a power outage one year during christmas and I hooked it up to our house and it powered the whole house. It would handle 5/32 7018 no problem. If I don't get it running by next month I am going to get rid of it.

Here's a brand new Honda carburetor for that engine for $93 delivered to your door. If that's too expensive for ya, just ship me the machine and I'll get it running, errrr, I mean dispose of it for you.

those hondas are pretty good engines. I would check to see that the valves were properly adjusted as well
