Or do I have somting else going on ?? Thanks for your help

I thought the same thing with my 250EX but it was a circuit board problem. It would weld OK and then it would start to weaken as the arc would sputter and if I went past a certain point with the pedal, it would almost come to a stop.

I ended up getting a 1450 error code and so I had to send it in still under warranty. (Thank goodness for the 5 year warranty!) It was an amperage problem and so I still do not have it back after almost 5 weeks. I know they are going through a moving situation with Everlast's tech station so I cut them some slack with the fix.

I do miss my 250EX tig welder though. When it was working, it was a joy to use. I can't wait to get it back.
