Well I sold the Eastwood 175 and bought a Miller 211.
WOW
What a difference! SO MUCH BETTER!
I mean in that it worked right out of the box and the Eastwood did not...

Well after a two weeks a new drive motor and now a new gas solenoid my NEW welder is... STILL not working. I'm still waiting on the electrician to get the right voltage/amperage outlet installed in my garage. In the meantime I've wasted an entire tank of gas trying to figure out what the problem is....

That would definitely limit your output substantially if the machine runs at all. Wouldn't...
