Miller Roughneck tinkering 

Nice old machine, I enjoyed the education about the governor. If you persist you will find the carb. or kit on Ebay. I realize this is an old post but do myself work on older engines and equipment. Therefor I mentioned a good source for finding these old equipment parts. Recently I found several parts no longer available made in the 1930s, one such part was new in the box unopened. Thanks for the video.

So I’ve got the same welder , mine to smelled like varnish. It’s a kohler engine but the carb looks the same . Can you tell me where your carb rebuild kit is from , also the screw on the bowl underneath,clock wise more gas counter less ?? . It ran fine for an hour then died now it’s like it’s not getting spark . Also my fuel line runs into a some little box with a spring loaded lever underneath it then to the motor ?? Any help is greatly appreciated

The surging may be from the variance in load the governor is sensing. Hold the governor arm to see if the motor runs steady. While you are welding the governor feels full load and the motor sounds good to me. Without load I think the surging may not be carb related. If it is, the throttle shaft will be loose in the brass bushing allowing air to intermittently rush by and lean out the mixture.

What a bad ass machine. I'm about to buy one soon.

Hey buddy, I just bought one of these and the wire I see on yours going up under the carburetor and that is blue then turns black at the connection. Could possibly tell or show me where it’s going to? Mine is broke and just laying there.

Just bought one shuts off when you start to weld any advice?

i have one the generator side does not work where can i get a wiring diagram?

do you still have this machine?

Can anyone tell me a replacement carb for this? Got this welder second hand and cant find one.

Por qué mi máquina desoldar ya no quiere soldar es una máquina roughneck2e

I'd see how difficult it would be to fab up k series Kohler on that unit much better engine than the tecumseh

I have the same Miller 2E and my problem is that the motor starts and runs like brand new but doesn't weld any suggestions Brothers

I HAVE ONBE OF THESE AND HAVING A HELL OF A TIME TRYING TO FIND A GOOD CARB FOR IT HELP!!!

Run sea foam thru it before a rebuild. Look into converting it to LPG :), This is same motor as my generator,pain in the arse to get started.

Let me see some more close up slow footage & let's see a lot of welding with it.

sounds like you got my text..

Ebay has the carb. Guy in New York has a couple of them left for $200. Little spendy but I haven't found any anywhere else. Just put my order in for one of them. Has a few left. I have a carb that has been giving me problems. I rebuilt it and it will only run with the choke on. Know it has to do with the seat. Tired of tinkering with it. So if you would like to buy mine and use it for parts your welcome to. Has a new carb kit and everything works but seat. Let me know. www.ebay.com/itm/MILLER-BLUE-STAR-2-E-WELDER-ROUGH-NECK-TECUMSEH-OH140-OH160-LMH-CARBURETOR-CASE-/251685409298?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a999e9212
