Powerpro 205s HF start does not work

I got my 2nd new Powerpro 205s less than a week ago (first one had an issue with the HF start being stuck on all the time so i sent it back and got a new unit). Well when the new unit arrived I used it for maybe a total of 45 minutes, just starting to get a feel for it. Then i noticed that the HF start quit working! I can still use the welder it is just is annoying that it is brand new and i have to literally touch the tungsten to the metal to start an arc. I have seen with other welders that the points can cause issues with the HF start. Is this what may be going on? Any quick checks I can do?

I feel dumb but i figured it out. I accidently turned my preflow up to like 8 by accident and wasnt waiting the full 8 seconds before the HF start would turn on. All is well now!

Glad to hear it was just a setting. I have always wondered why they have such a huge range for the preflow.
