This connection along with other pedal pinouts for Everlast units is found under technical bulletins and tips...Sticky at the top of the page. Hard to miss.

So the USA machines have a different plug then Canadian all my machines are 7 pin the iMig250 has 7Pin, MTS250S has 7 Pin, 255EXT has 7 Pin and the 250EX has 7 Pin. the MTS250S has 7 Pin but different the pins are in the plug not in the machine.

The 210EXT has a different plug as well as the MIGs and MTs units that I have seen. All us 210EXT's except the limited release of some new models have the 5 pin plug.

When I press the button Pins 1-3 connect and is a solid connection. (That is how it is suppose to work)

Pins 5-2 never change. They show a constant 1.072K ohms (I assume this is not used)

Pints 5-4 do change. At the highest setting it is at 6.8 ohms, in the middle 575 ohms, 1.075K ohms. (That matches what is listed above)

I wonder why the weld stops after 2-10 seconds, as shown in the video. The gray torch does not do that. It keeps running.

Call tech support in the morning and let him walk you through diagnosis.

I will call on Tues. I tested a the gray torch and the pedal.

The gray torch shows a solid connection between pin 1-3 when the button is pushed. Pins 5-2 and pins 4-5 are 100% open connections.

On the pedal. Pins 1-3 do trigger a connection when you press the pedal. Pins 5-2 are open connections. Pins 5-4 range from 116 ohms to 0.969K ohms.

I wonder how the unit knows to allow 4T? It seems that if pins 4-5 have resistance 4T does not work. it has to be forced with hidden menu D08=1

I think the 210EXT is 1-3 for the switch and 2-5-4 for the 1K pot. 5 is common. Mark can correct me on this if wrong. Just off the top of my head.

You should measure between 2 - 4. It will likely be reversed from 5 - 4. It looks like the pot has the outer legs wired to 5 - 2 and the pedal may be only using one side. Hopefully tech support can verify what is correct. This model was a departure for the standard Everlast pedal, so anything is possible.
Did you wiggle the cable and torch while checking pins 1-3? it would only go open for a fraction of a second, based on your video, so it might be hard to measure without a latching meter.
