Why won't my Mosa Magic Weld 200 Welding System engine start, or why does it start and stop immediately?

  Ryan AndersonAug 13, 2025
  There are several reasons why your Mosa Welding System engine might fail to start or cut off soon after starting: * The engine switch may be in the OFF position. Ensure the switch is set to ON. * There might be insufficient oil in the engine. Refill or top up the oil level. * The fuel tank may be empty, or the fuel tap may be closed. Refill the tank and open the fuel tap. * The spark plug could be faulty or dirty. Clean, check, and replace it if necessary. * If the engine is cold, keep the CHOKE control in the “CLOSE” position for a longer period after starting the engine. * A faulty engine stop device (oil-alert) may also be the cause. In this case, replace the device.

Why does my Mosa Welding System engine lack speed, have inconstant speed, or have poor power output?
- C
  Christina ThomasAug 16, 2025
  If your Mosa Welding System engine isn't speeding up properly, has an inconsistent speed, or isn't providing adequate power, consider these potential causes: * The air or fuel filter may be clogged. Check the air filter. * The fuel quality might be poor. Empty the tank and the carburetor, then refuel with fresh petrol. * There might be an overload. Check the connected loads and reduce them if necessary.

What to do if my Mosa Portable Generator motor does not start?

  Zachary RodriguezAug 20, 2025
  If the motor of your Mosa Portable Generator doesn't start, or starts and then stops immediately, there could be several reasons: * No current under no-load conditions in weld mode: Position the switch to ON. * Lack of or insufficient oil in the motor: Refill or top off the oil. * Faulty motor stopping device (oil-alert): Replace the faulty device. * Lack of fuel in the tank or the fuel tap is closed: Refill the tank and open the fuel tap.

Why is there no current in auxiliary power mode on my Mosa Portable Generator?
- P
  petersonvictoriaAug 25, 2025
  If there is no current under no-load conditions in auxiliary power mode for your Mosa Portable Generator, the cause may be a faulty circuit or alternator, in which case you should replace them. Also, check if the fuse is open and replace the fuse with a 10A retarded fuse for the 230V version or a 15A retarded fuse for the 110V version. Finally, the auxiliary power diode bridge could be broken. Use a multimeter to test that there are 3 Kohms between pins 1-2; if not, replace the bridge. Disconnect the welding and auxiliary power cables. Use a voltmeter to check that there is 48 Vac at the outputs in weld and approximately 145 Vac between the outputs in generation. Carry out the check when the engine idles (disconnect one of the two wires to the solenoid)

Why does my Mosa Portable Generator have insufficient power during welding or generation?
- W
  wilsonwilliamAug 27, 2025
  Insufficient power during welding or generation in your Mosa Portable Generator can be caused by a dirty petrol filter, a dirty air filter, or a dirty carburetor. Consult the engine instruction booklet for instructions.

Why is the engine of my Mosa Portable Generator always at maximum speed?
- D
  Denise AustinAug 31, 2025
  If the engine of your Mosa Portable Generator is always at maximum speed, the cause may be a faulty circuit, in which case you should replace it. Another possible cause is a faulty solenoid. Check that the resistance of the solenoid winding is approximately 10 ohm.

What causes irregular welding current in my Mosa Portable Generator?
- A
  Anthony TurnerSep 4, 2025
  Irregular or inconsistent welding current in your Mosa Portable Generator can be caused by several factors: * Alternator windings not insulated from earth: Disconnect all the outputs; 3 for welding which go to the chopper bridge and 4 for auxiliary power which go to the circuit board. Use a multimeter to check the insulation of the alternator. * Welding chopper bridge not insulated from earth: Disconnect the 3 welding cables, the + and - for welding, the black wire and the connector which go to the circuit board. Use a multimeter to check that the bridge is insulated from the earth. * Power cables not insulated from earth: Check that the cables inside the aluminium casting are properly insulated and replace if necessary.
