I have a Syncrowave 200 that is acting flakey on me. I am welding aluminum on AC 175A 7.5 balance. Sometimes the welder acts perfectly normal, other times I push the pedal, pre-gas starts, then I hear a hum but no spark. I let off the peddle and get post flow.
Why no spark?
What information have I left out?
Thanks for your help.
Chuck

First I would check your ground. Then I would rub the tungsten on the table before starting, as the tip can get glazed. Then I would check your point gaps.
