I believe that Manual/Automatic is only for the postflow and has nothing to do with the pilot arc. I take it this is a SuperCut 50P? Do you have the loose pilot arc wire from the torch attached to the terminal on the front? Pilot arc will start when not in contact with anything. If it doesn't, you may have a high frequency issue.
What are your settings? Amps, air pressure?

clean off your consumables, if there is a build up of slag it has trouble starting the arc.

Brand new right out of the box with new consumables attached. The Pilot arc does come on when trigger is pulled in auto mode only. It just is not consistant and requires the machine to be powered off then back on. You also have to way untill the capacitors discharge completly for a reset to work.

When it won't restart, and you let off the trigger, does the air stop after the postflow timer runs out, or does it just stay on forever until you power off the machine?Originally Posted by Odyknuck
Have you called tech support to go through a few basic tests?

The air does not shut off.

All hooked up with 65 PSI (drops to 60 when trigger is pulled) and does not matter what the Ampacity is set at.
