my bobcat 250 quit welding the other day but would still rev up when I tried to strike an arc. Generator not working as well. Don’t know much about these things but I tried to clean up the brushes and copper wheel things that they ride on. No go. Roughly a month out to get it looked at, much less repaired. Guy at welding shop mentioned a big plug in there loosing contact. I’ll check that tomorrow but if that’s not it I’m probably gonna buy a new machine. I can’t go a month without a welder/ generator. $4300 for a bobcat 225 and $4900 for a 250. Sales guys keep asking if I need the gfci. It’s mounted on my service truck. Do I need that or not? Also any other suggestions on what happened to my current machine?
