Cebora 834 shuts down At Arc Start?

[seagiant]

Hi,
I have a 25 year old Daytona Mig/Cebora834, that has been a great Welder but now having problems.

I suspect a bad "Spot Welding" Switch, but have not looked at it yet.

Switch knob rotates 360 degrees no stops and does not vary length of operation?

Wondering if anyone has had problems before with this switch?

Hi,
Well, I pulled the cover, blew the insides out with air.

Nothing amiss, no burnt wires, located the switch and while playing with it pulled on the front stem where the knob is and seems to have reset it as it now will click while turning and before would not do that?????

Seems to weld no was it should but took some duck tape and taped the knob so it does not move again...

We will see, but think the switch is bad but where to get one?
