new maxstar 161

Maybe you can do a reset to the factory presets in case the settings got messed with somewhere along the way? I have no idea if that's even possible.

Arc seems weak don't know if mine has a hot start or not bought around 04 used 150s couple of different ones around same Era machines much better stick than mine was told something about how they are programed or something like that new one sounds pretty good

[ryanjones2150]

What is it you find missing with the stick function on the 150? I actually really like the way it runs. Sometimes the automatic hot start is not my favorite, but otherwise, I'm satisfied.

If it tigs as good as the 150 and sticks as good as the esab 161 the should have a good one my 150 sth is real smooth on tig
