Miller 225 Bobcat Welder problem

[cowboy43]

4 years old , 90 run hours, kept under a shed, have been using it set on 4 but it does not have a strong enough arc to weld , have to set it on 10 to weld, I have checked voltage output and it ckecks out ok. Any suggestions or ideas?

what amp are you setting it on
the small dial is just for fine tuning
also make sure not of you remote swiches are switched on
only 90hrs it should be under warranty

Check your connections on your stinger and ground. Take them apart, clean the tarnish off and tighten them back up. You may have high resistance in one of these. If you just used a voltmeter to test the output, that is not an accurate test. You have to test it under load. In other words, your high impedance volt meter would show the proper output voltage and the connections could still be corroded.
