A guy I work with gave me a little welder .....Amw 1000......wire feed .....110v.....made in Denmark......said feeds wire ....but no spark.anyone got an idea.....or is it worth messing with. I mean it was free.

Welcome to the forum, I know nothing regarding that welder and not much greater know how about electrics.

Have you tried a direct strike on the earth clamp?

Also many electrical gadgets have an internal fuse somewhere on the board, so yes it's worth messing with, especially checking for that internal fuse and loose or broken connections.

Good luck

It could just be the contactor. open your machine and see if the contactor (big relay) is moving when you pull the trigger.
