Hi there ye old welding experts, I have been using a harbor freight 90 amp mig welder for 2 years now, and dispite a few somewhat disparaging comments on the quality of harbor freight products, to a good deal of success. I have modified the welder by adding a large fan next to the diode bridge to increase the duty cycle on the 90 amp setting from about 7% to well over 75% ( i have never tripped the high temp cut out with the fan installed). The only issue I have with this welder is the trigger switch on the welding gun is very stiff. Stiff to the point when after a minute or two of welding my fingeres are very sore and it effects the quality of the weld. I have taken the gun appart and have not had much success in reducing the pressure required to fully enguage the switch. Can someone reccomend a manufacture and model of a gun I can purchase to replace this gun? A direct fit would be nice, but I would not mind a little adaptation.
P.S. I exclusively use the gas mode, no flux core wire
THX!
