Looking forward to your results. Thanks for taking the time. I've seen that video that's why I was wondering what's up with mine. The only thing I can think of if its not the machine I was welding in my shop at about 40 degrees with snow melting and high humidity inside. Maybe the aluminum was pulling in moisture. I don't know. Machine is fine other than that sputtering at very low amps. Doubt I will be welding coke cans but if the machine is supposed to weld that low I want it to be able to.
