256SI Plasma function Inop

admin

So i was cutting 1/2 plate and burned through the insulating cup and the other small consumables a few weeks ago; ordered parts from Everlast and tried the unit after replacing said parts. Pilot arc is not working; air flow is fine. Calling Everlast tomorrow...just wondering if anyone has some quick info. Troubleshooting guide mentions a fuse; is this located inside the case?
Reply:No fuse on the updated model. But the most common cause ( I have dealt with this 4 or 5 times this week alone) is that the customer has dropped, lost or ignored the swirl ring.  Sounds like this is likely one of those cases.Esab Migmaster 250Lincoln SA 200Lincoln Ranger 8Smith Oxy Fuel setupEverlast PowerPlasma 80Everlast Power iMIG 160Everlast Power iMIG 205 Everlast Power iMIG 140EEverlast PowerARC 300Everlast PowerARC 140STEverlast PowerTIG 255EXT
Reply:Is that the brown thing, illustration not so good in manual and i think everything is there....
Reply:I just watched Kevin Caron's vid on repairing the plasma torch; i think my swirl ring is MIA...now to see if it is still around or if i have to order.....
Reply:The first picture is not your torch but shows what the part are and the second picture show all the consumables for your torch.
