Finally made it back.
Drum roll...
Machine polarity is/was set-up correctly.
I'm at a loss.

My mistake. Thanks Bob....

That's a good question Ryan.
I understood that the wiring on 220 made no difference...I could be dead wrong though...I'll re-check that.
The MIG gun lead attaches directly into the drive mechanism (negative) and the ground bolts to the (positive) lug inside. Correct?...

I exchanged the plastic wire guide for a new brass replacement. So far so good as far as the wire not bird nesting constantly but the machine doesn't run like any other 252's I've used.
I havn't MIG welded 308 hardwire before and thought the odd sound of the arc was due to the high helium mixture....

Thanks for the reference and help Griff, Ryan and MAC.
I'll check what they are at prior to removal cleaning and re-gapping at .010"
