Abstract
An example engine-driven welding-type power supply includes: an engine; a generator configured to convert mechanical power from the engine to electrical power; power conversion circuitry to convert the electrical power to welding power and to output the welding power via output terminals; and control circuitry configured to, while the engine is stopped, automatically start the engine in response to detecting a welding circuit scratch via the output terminals.
