Can you please elaborate on the symptoms you're experiencing? You're not giving us very much to go on.

Welding is a pretty low voltage with a lot of amps, wouldn't think that would damage any ignition parts. And usually the more delicate parts either work or they are dead. I'd check all the basics first.

The timing chip runs in the micro volt range so 12 V to it is like 1000V to you,,,,pooof .

Did you disconnect the blower battery prior to welding ?

Looks like he's gone. I'd suspect he tilted the machine way back to do the welding and stirred up some dirt (or water) in the carb. Maybe already smoothed itself out?

Sounds plausable for sure.
