Ok so disclaimer here I could be doing something completely wrong because I've never even used (or seen used) a plasma cutter before, except on videos.
I got this cheap at an auction, first thing I could see was the regulator was kaput so I've stuck a new one on.
Switched it on and the on switch lit up, and the fan kicked in, but no life at the torch end. When I pull the trigger I assumed I'd get some air hissing out, but no. Can't hear the solenoid clicking either.
Tried to scratch start the arc but nothing doing. Clearly no power getting to the torch
I'm guessing its something to do with the trigger switch, but not sure. Never been inside a plasma cutter before but can't see anything obviously wrong. Anyone else got any pearls of wisdom, e.g. common parts to fail, troubleshooting tips etc?
