JJohn, I dont think so? it has a purge settingand a postflow adjustment but no preflow that I know of?

MMW, I have popped the covers, blown it out, cleaned and set the gap on the points but i have not looked at the foot pedal. i'll check that next. Thanks!

The arc doesnt start at all. in TIG EN mode. It stick welds like a champ. You get all set up and ready to weld and hit the gas pedal and nothing,mash it 4-5 times and it will fire up. ???

I have a new to me synchrowave 200 that sometimes takes 3-5 mashes on the foot pedal to start an arc when on TIG. I have set the spark gap to .008 and the contacts look to be in good shape. Pedal works fine once the arc starts so I think its OK? Any ideas??
