--------------------------------------------------------------------------------I have a Clarke 180 EN Mig welder and am not sure what is wrong with the welder. I was welding recently and everything working correctly when it "lost power". It went from laying down a nice weld to not having enough power to start a puddle. I've adjusted the power settings and the power adjusts proportionally to the settings but even at the highest setting all I get is "popping" and no weld penetration. Any help is appreciated..Thanks
