I fired up the Oxford for a quick bit of welding the other day after it hadn't been used for a few weeks.
Using settings I'm used to, the welding was stuttery, spattery, lacked penetration - just rubbish..... then when I went to weld up the other side of the bracket, business as usual.
Is the wire in the feed hose corroding (pretty dry shed and I have a small thermocouple heater in the reel dispenser area)? Do I need to warm up the transformer for a few min maybe? Something else ?
TIA, G.
