Hooked this machine up today and it tigs just fine but will not stick weld. When I try to use it as a stick welder you can strike an arc but it is very weak and can not be maintained. The tig works fine. Any ideas where to start looking. Thanks

Need a little more information such as a SN or Code # and a photo of the unit would help to identify a manufacturer.MM200 w/Spoolmatic 1Syncrowave 180SDBobcat 225G Plus - LP/NGMUTT Suitcase WirefeederWC-1S/Spoolmatic 1HF-251D-1PakMaster 100XL '68 Red Face Code #6633 projectStar Jet 21-110Save Second Base!
Reply:Is there a remote switch on the face somewhere? Does it have a foot pedal, ifso what does the arc do when you use the pedal and try to stick weld?
Reply:This may be a dumb question...to tig carbon steel you should be on electrode negative and electrode positive for stick. Did you switch the leads?UA Local 598
