Oh wait, does the generator slow down significantly when you start welding? I was thinking it was producing 80V, and then the generator would maintain the same rpm meaning you were dumping more than the rated current through the alternator stator, which is bad.

If that's the case I can see why people use alternator-welders, that is quite elegant. Mechanically producing higher voltage to start.
