Abstract
A method and apparatus for controlling the engine speed of a welding generator is disclosed. A first time delay permits the engine to warm up sufficiently at a run speed before switching the engine speed to an idle speed. A second time delay permits continuous operation of the engine at the run speed during brief interruptions in the demand for output power.
