Well decided to get my Unimig Viper 182 mig out of storage and switched from gasless to normal mig wire and I connected my argon bottle for the gas. Well the old Kipoint inverter that has now clocked over 20 years powering my shed did it's best but it did the start stop thing and honestly wasn't up to this job so tried my 4Kw genset only find that also was getting bogged down with the start stop thing again. I went to Paramount Browns where I bought this 7Kw genset that did us a few years and stopped working, I went in and asked for spare parts only to be told they didn't sell spares so that 4Kw was bought. Now I was back in there yesterday buying steel where when I asked again for run cap where I was told it's a AVR and yes they do sell spares and for $37  So it will be great to get that genset going so it can power the mig welder. A bit of history with this mig welder  Bought it precovid at TotalTools and found back then the kipoint wouldn't run it so fired up my 16hp Listeroid with that 5Kw genhead without a AVR and went to town welding bolts together to make a T-rex and heard the mig go a nice bang and it stopped working as I did let the magic smoke out Took the mig welder back into TotalTools and told turned on the mig and it went snap crackle pop so can I get this fixed under warranty. It took close to 2 months and got told all the pcb boards were replaced and it has been tested so you have a new mig welder again.
