Vino,
Thanks for the update, so often we follow the progress of a project ... then ... nothing. Good to hear of a successful project.
Oh yes, being bi-lingual, 'belt and braces' translates to 'belt and suspenders'

You could try pulling the wire out and blowing the rust and accumulated crud (official technical term) with compressed air. Use LOW pressure to start and flex the tube to keep it flowing. High pressure at the start may blow the crud into a blockage and that won't make you happy.
If you can get hold of some dry ice and dump it into the tank the CO2 will displace the air and make things safER not necessarily altogether safe!

White is neutral NOT 110!! it is tied to ground at the breaker panel. NEC allows the use of black,red ,blue or yellow for either leg of 220 (I think) but specifically bans the use of white.
I have a Lincoln 3200HD ... same as the 135 except it's the Home Depot branded unit. It's a great little unit, never had it shut off because of the duty cycle! Built a deck frame out of 2"x2" tubing (260 feet of steel) in 100 degree weather last summer NO problems. Lose the mask that came...
Hunchman, those videos look great, thanks for the link. Pulser9, if you're in the UK they wont send the videos to you. They only sell to US customers AND if they're NTSC format (North American standard) even if you can get the tapes you'll have to get them converted to PAL.

They make a generator here in the US that mounts to the engine and is belt driven - looks like a truck alternator on steroids. I've seen the 5KW units in action and they are great. Auto thottle control etc. takes a full 8 hour day to install. Of course they're 110vac here!! Here's a web page...
Hi, Falcolnblack. You might not get a lot of responses here, it's a UK site and Millers are not commonplace. Try one of the US sites for answers on the Miller. I have a "Red" (Lincoln) myself but That "Blue" of yours seems to be a good machine from what I've read, just take it's size...
Missed the Hot pepper sauce one, maybe useful to preheat the guy on the other end of the stinger! I just picked a few at random before I posted and they looked interesting. I lifted the entry from a welding web page here in the US of A
Here's a US Forum. Lots of great people just dont ask electrical
questions. Things electrical are VERY different over here. I had
a heck of a time when I first moved here! (neither leg of a 220v circuit is earthed, they're both 110v above earth or neutral, but 180 degrees out of phase) Lots...
Malcolm, I tried to work out the inches of weld and I gave up.
Used a heck of a lot of wire. The machine has a duty cycle of 20%
and it never shut down once, even in that heat. Did the cutting with a chop saw with abrasive blades. Damn thing didn't cut square but
that's my excuse for...
Well, I haven't posted in a while so here's the
Summer project. 240 feet of 2"x 2" square and three days.
90+ degrees every day. Twelve grass fires even after wetting down the area every morning. All successfully extinguished!!
That's a Lincoln 3200HD MIG using Innershield wire.
There's redwood...
This is not the forum for electrical advice about US wiring.
The wiring and voltage in Britain is very different.
Weldingweb.com is a US site where your questions will be answered.
Black, white and green wires would suggest a 110 volt connection.
Black - hot. White - neutral and green - ground.
