If your Lincoln Electric Welding System's engine won't crank or is hard to crank, here are a few things to check: * **Faulty battery:** Replace the battery with a known good one. * **Charging current:** Check the connection of the lead from the voltage regulator on the engine to the charging ammeter and battery leads #208 and #209. * **Loose connections:** Check and tighten connections at the battery, starter, engine foot, or frame. * **Broken lead:** Repair lead #216A from the solenoid to the start switch. * **Fouled spark plugs:** Replace the spark plugs.
