A possible cause of a Lincoln Electric welding machine not getting fuel after replacing the electric fuel pump and making a loud tapping noise could be overfilling the fuel tank. The manual warns that overfilling can lead to engine damage. Additionally, ensure that the correct Lincoln Electric fuel cap with an internal safety vent is used, as improper venting can prevent fuel flow. Also, check that clean, fresh, lead-free gasoline is used and the filler neck is not completely filled, allowing room for expansion.

8. Start the engine and run at high idle (3600 RPM). 9. Using a volVohmmeter, check the AC voltage reading. It should read between 236 and 252 VAC. 10. If the voltage readings are not within the specified limits, check for tripped or defective circuit breakers, loose connections or broken wires between the test points and the stator windings.
