Hi again, looks like I may need to replace my machine sooner than I thought as it's developed a fault . It will only let me lay around 14 1 1/2" welds on 3/4 power before the thermal overload cuts in. The trouble is, when it cuts in it takes ages to reset itself then it will only let me make another 14 or so welds. Could it be a faulty thermal sensor or is it likely to be something more serious? I'm part way through a large job at the moment and only have a stick welder as back-up so I'm desperate for a solution. Is there a way of bypassing thermal sensors as a temporary measure, just to see if the fault lies with that? Any help greatly appreciated.
