Re: HELP: Power Mig 300 w/ Prince XL Push Pull Setup

So after a few calls to MK Products, a call to Lincoln and multiple visits to my local supply store I've been able to figure things out.... somewhat. What I've learned is that I have an early model AIR cooled gun however back then they used a lower gauge water cooled power cable that has a female 5/...
