Hi I'm new member on here, my names nick.
I have an old 86 Lincoln idealarc tig 300/300 that I picked up about a year ago from the original owner. The thing welds great, I love it. Only problem is I have to have to gas directly from the regulator on the bottle to the tig torch. Luckily I have a flex head torch with a gas valve on it so I can manually turn the gas on/off.
Both the gas and water Solenoids on the machine are in the closed position and when I hit the foot pedal neither one does anything. It seems like neither is getting any juice. The machine sat awhile and it is possible they could have gotten stuck but I doubt both would have gotten stuck at the same time.
I was thinking it could be the post control timer board that's not working?
Any suggestions on what to do to further diagnose my issue?
And anyone know where I can get parts for this machine?
Thanks,
Nick
