bad move, heat build up and weld wander you have different tips for a reasonif you are using .8 wire, use a 1.0 tip, so on a long weld it does not pinch wire as it gets hot,

thats its low duty cycle kicking in, if you can be bothered fit a fan to it which does work
I dont think it is anything to do with the duty cycle. The unit has an on board fan and work quite well at low ranges. The welder works well when welding very thin metal. But anything 0.8 and up, it only works for maybe 2 minuets tops before starting to stack and spit. It will do that even from cold, so thats why i dont think its to do with the duty cycle.

Well, thanks one and all, but a purchase has been made......Thanks to Dr Evil, i am now the proud owner of a Sealey 190A MIG. So happy days. When I've got the new one, I'll have a play, then if someone wants to make an offer for the SIP to play with/fix, be my guest.As for me, I'm happy - NEW TOY!

Nice, congrats on your new toy.
£20 for your old one?![]()
As i said, i really need a welder, so i'm hanging on to the SIP till the Sealey arrives. Then I'll happily take offers.However, I notice your at the other end of a very long country to me. Will it be worth the courier or the driving required for you?
