Looks like it was decent quality cast too, not that chinesium junk.

That place looks like something out of that TV downtown Abby or whatever it’s called.

But what’s a docent?

[ryanjones2150]

Practice.

[ryanjones2150]

I can’t tell what part that is. You have a picture from a bit further back?

Getting in a little late here.....but I dropped a valve on an Onan engine a couple years ago, on a lot of these small engines the valve faces are parallel with the piston face. And after talking to the onan shop here, you can get away with it most times. Mine I just put new parts on the valve end and...

What, no CAD drawings on this? Inconceivable!

[ryanjones2150]

I agree with you on that, Mickey, for sure.

[ryanjones2150]

Pays to shop around! Good catch.

Ran out of .035 solid wire, of course it was on a Saturday, so it was .035 DS to for the finish. But went a picked up a new 44# roll.....$158.

Geez.

What an irritating and frustrating problem, I hate it for ya.

I’m guessing you already unhooked everything and started over a few times and still nothing? That would be about the extent of my knowledge. I hate coincidences like this.

Hit a thermal overload of some sort, be it the duty cycle or maybe the fan isn’t working like the display suggests. On my old regency power source, I was doing some modifications to a boat and running the spool gun pretty hard, apparently and unbeknownst to me, the thermostat that turns the fan on...

[ryanjones2150]

Such an odd coincidence.

[ryanjones2150]

Oh man, those ain’t cheap.

[ryanjones2150]

Put the old torch back on and see if it still works.

[ryanjones2150]

You need a boring bar that can face, Don.

Prices are just stupid. I went to order some heavy wall tubing on Friday from one of my typical suppliers, 1.25” OD, 1/4” wall, $2.50 per INCH!! I can’t make any money like this.

[ryanjones2150]

Man I hate that for ya. Your interests are wide ranging and you have a a ton of a great stuff you’re passing on. I doubt I can be much help other than maybe a few purchases, but you’re so far from me....I’m in southeast Texas. But I will pass your lists around through people I know, it looks like...

I just do the math for the range and mine is pretty close to that chart by the looks of it. I use my 330 for stick more than I do tig too. But overall, on my machine, I find that mathing out the amperage based on the scale you’re in works pretty good for me. Immmost commonly welding with 1/8” 7018...

[ryanjones2150]

Agreed.

[ryanjones2150]

I don’t think I quite understand what it is you’re trying to change. What is the executive summary of your mission with this?

[ryanjones2150]

Ok, I have plenty of old heavy iron, I’ll be happy to move one if I can get a good deal on one. A quick search on eBay and they appear to be pretty spency even used. Did I mention I’m a cheap prick? But I’ll keep an eye out for one for sure. Thanks man!
