Have you had any problems finding parts for that Continental engine? You should be able to keep it running for a long time, as simple as those are.

 

[Evan03]

No. Ebay has parts and the sa200 keeps it popular. I havent needed any parts yet.

Not mention it was also used on tractors and forklifts

Anyone out there have a big 40 im curious if i have my rectifires hooked up right.

Thanks

I have the Big 40 with the Teledyne engine.

Ware eagle. Sweet. Think you could get me a wire lay out on both rectifires?

 

[wareagle50]

I could try. Im not really familiar with the inner workings of engine drive stick welders but I can try. It's out at the farm though and it may be next weekend before I see it again. We don't even use it anymore since we go the Bobcat.

Its not a big deal. You have to pull the top cover so dont worry about it. I lnow were 3 wires go for sure. Just have 5 to figure out
