Hi Mike! I did just as you suggest. I used some white out to mark the meshing gears, but when wiping off the excess paint the cam gear jumped about three teeth on the governor gear. Now I’ am thinking the two gears had already jumped, that is why it no longer wanted to start.
According to the Lincoln manual I downloaded from Lincoln’s site, and the CD manual I bought, all timing is based off of the number four sparkplug. At one time this welder started very easy. Then All of the sudden a pin in the magneto coupling broke. I replaced the mag coupling with another mag I had. Now I believe the reason this pin broke is because the bushing / bearing in the cam gear let go. I was just reading in a page I downloaded from Bill’s Welding Equipment Repair site that there is suppose to be a single punch mark on the cam gear tooth which aligns / meshes with two gears on the governor gear that are also punched. For the life of me I cannot see these punch marks, even with a magnifying glass! I guess I’ll take everything apart tomorrow. Took all morning to find my wheel puller. Man I hate when I can’t find a tool! :o(
