Hi all,
I have been lurking for a while and learnt loads already from you friendly bunch. I was given my first welder today (Clarke 100 E).
Problem is when i press the trigger, the wire feed motor does nothing.
i have attached a power supply direct to the motor and it turns happily.
I have done a quick visual and all looks ok. Although there seems to be 8V at the motor all of the time until i pull the trigger, it then drops to 0V.
Any ideas?
Also, what is the general opinion on the clarke 100E? I will hopefully be doing general panel work on my VW camper.
Cheers.
Stuart.
