[Flexibel_kampfe]

I dont exactly want to drill holes and such.... I dont really have the room for a cart like that...

welll you could buy a 10lb reel and fill up the 2lb by rolling it up.

those vice grips remind me of my pit bike front axle, lol.

exactly what i thought of when i saw them.

 

[Bluethunder3320]

hahaha^

oh so i got some better wire today.
i dont know when the next time i can weld will be though im loaded

(neighbors yardwork, homework, homework, and finding a basement vent.)

 

[r97]

yard work, hw, yard work , rock climbing (not a bad thing), hw, and amidst this i need to source out a piston ring, which sears says is not available within 100mi of my house.

 

[Bluethunder3320]

oh what cc was that again?

 

[r97]

24cc, i can get it no problem, just not locally, i'm gonna search around a bit to marrow if i can, i'm going to sears anyway.

Heres one:

And heres two:

Sorry, its a phone camera... crud quality, hopefully you can see the welds.....

 

[r97]

i can't really see them, lol, the bit i can almost sorta see is good though.

 

[Bluethunder3320]

haha wow.
anyways i was able to cleanly weld up my muffler with lincoln wire. its so thin (you know how box mufflers are on weedwackers). i had it set on MIN and wire feed lvl. 1.

blew through a few times but i was able to glob it back sealed.

Slow down, and concentrate on the puddle. From what I can see the width of the bead is pretty inconsistent and narrow, take it slower.

 

[Bluethunder3320]

oh go in circles too

 

[Flexibel_kampfe]

New: I think you are looking at multiple welds... I welded pretty close to eachother...

Anyoke now how to unscrew the nozzle on the welder? I want to clean my tip..

 

[Bluethunder3320]

pull off the shiny metal cap at the end that houses it.

then use the wrench it came with to unscrew it.

 

[Flexibel_kampfe]

Pull it off, or unscrew it? Because I cant do either...

 

[r97]

pg #8

 

[Bluethunder3320]

just pull real hard its only held on by friction.

the actual tip unscrews

 

[Flexibel_kampfe]

I figured it out... its Pull while Unscrewing...
