Miller 250 TIG "Return to light" project

Agree. I’d like to get it back up and running, but I won’t have time to look at it for a bit.

D’you remember whereish it is?
I think the coolant pump was working? Or is it still in the state above?
Power plug was installed, i think?
Don’t quite recall. Heck, it might be obvious if I just look at it, eh?

Answers:
It was located beside the metal scrap bin, the last time I was at the space.
The pump appears to be working, but the flow is very low. The hose could be blocked with sediment and algae.
Yes, power plug is installed.
We need to dump the distilled water that I put in it for testing and then fill it with 2 gallons of this stuff:

(Note: The pump can be tested independently of the TIG machine by unplugging it and plugging it into a drop cord. It runs off of the 110v outlet on the welder.)

:laughing: I meant more metaphysically than physically.
Thank you for the elaboration!

Sorry. Sometimes, I take requests for information quite literally and want to make sure to provide exact, correct answers. :slight_smile:

back from the dead. I worked on it today. Turns out that the water cooled torch itself had issues. I back flushed the torch then ran it. The max flow was 12oz in about 2:40 min. I back flushed again & the hose split. With the torch disconnected it would get 12 oz in 10 seconds. The recommended flow rate is 1 quart a minute.
