For the wirefeed motor speed to vary depending on whether the torch is arcing or not implies a fault or very poor design. Either the voltage supplied to the motor circuit is varying, or the speed controller is sloppy. These are the kinds of issues seen on cheap machines ( e.g. SIP ) which force owners to use replacement DC power supplies and build new control circuits. A well-designed machine should have a stabilised DC supply dedicated to the feed motor and, ideally, a Pulse Width Modulated speed control circuit. I would expect this quality on a Parweld, so maybe there is a fault.

It will make no differance as although a cooker circuit is normally on a 40A MCB, normal sockets (ring main) are on a 32A MCB, the limiting factor is the 13A fuse in the plug on the welder.

i would think his garage is on a spur off the ring main i would try another socket as suggested first

See my post! My monomig had an eccentric wire drive roller. just today have put in a new roller and it is a different machine. I have had this machine from new in 1997 -it still looks brand new because I thought it was a dog and never used it-and came very close to throwing it out.
Read the wire tensioning recomendation on this forum -Ie start with no tension -grip the wire-slowly increase the tension to driving wire and not feeling any slip!!!!
I think the power plug capacity and lead is important -certainly see a drop in performance using a lightweight extension lead!
Anyway there are many on this forum that know more about MIG welding than me !!
