I have an old (guessing 1960s) Idealarc 250. I have to crank it up to full power just to get a hot enough bead to weld 1/8 steel. Even then the welder will weld for about 2 seconds and the arc willl shut off. Then the arc will come back but only for about 1 or 2 more seconds. Can someone help me out here? Thank you
