I replaced a diode that the wire had came lose from but that really did
not help the way it welds. I can hook another welder I have up to it and
burn a rod through a 1/4 in piece of steel so the generator part is
working fine.

Step 1 is to obtain the service manual for your welder, usually available
on the web somewhere. If that does not answer your question, then post a
link to it when you ask again and you might get someone who understands
welding machines to help.

When the same thing happened to my Ranger 250 (closely related but not
quite the same) it was fortunately under warrantee. Factory service
center swapped every board they had in stock, no luck, and then ordered
in and swapped the main board. Out of warrantee that would be a repair
you might not be able to justify the cost of...

No actual idea what failed, of course, as no component level diagnosis
was done (and would be difficult with the boards conformally coated.)
