so i just picked up a 95 syncrowave 250. when i got it the top mounted cooling system had a little residue. figured a slow leak. the guy said it had come up ( fairbanks alaska) from florida in a truck. said it had been sitting at least a year. im getting the hf but i cant even puddle 1/8 alum. i bypassed the foot control and i cleaned/ set the gap to .008. after messing around with it a bit with i decided to try the stick. got nothin. anyway i got the skirt off and am going to clean some of the connections up. some sre pretty corroded.
back to the coolant. it was sitting on a home made cart. there was a shelf on top so the coolant wasnt just pooring down on the welder. still the top of the welder was a bit rusted and it kinda smelled like dog piss.... now that i mention it there was a blind dog in the shop when i picked it up. yep im pretty sure i bought a pissin post.
i drained the coolant. it was nasty. i dont thing that getting the guts of the welder a little sogy would hurt it as long as it was dry when fired it up, but is there something in that coolant that would reek (get it) havoc on my welders goodys?
