Most welder instruction manuals have a recommended length and wire gauge for extension cords in them... If yours does not, its probable not recommended... 150 Feet ???......
From Amico page..

Generally with a NEMA 6-50 wiring scheme a "neutral" is not used, You can run it in with 10/3 w/g and not connect it though, NEMA 6-50 uses the two load legs and safety ground (usually bare copper or maybe green)... A 10/2 w/g would be sufficient for number of wires.... Some 240 V appliances...Leave a comment:

Wait a minute.... Miller states the Bobcat 250 can do MIG (GMAW and FCAW) along with stick..... Are we talking about same engine driven welder here?

IF ignition switch is bad, replace it with universal off/on switch from auto parts store..... Backfiring can be a ignition, valve or fuel problem... But not likely from ignition switch unless it intermittently goes "open" and comes back after there is massive fuel load in exhaust and causes...Leave a comment:

Most writings/instruction I have read about MIG welding states to put ground clamp as close to weld location as possible, so if it would be in my opinion the clamp should be on bucket if you are welding on bucket and not be lazy and just stick it anywhere, suppose same would go for stick or TIG .......Leave a comment:

Not sure about specifications for that machine, but a tip that would work should be available at local welding supply there are at least two maybe three types, Miller and Hobart use a 1/4 by 28 thread contact tip, and Tweco and Clark and several others use slightly different thread size.. Just be sure...Last edited by Dale M.; 04-11-2018, 07:42 PM.Leave a comment:

Hang in there, Hobart is good machine and good people to work with.... It will get fixed to your satisfaction....If you want validation check out how many are sitting in refurbished sales waiting for some one to get a really good deal....

Wait patiently til Monday AM and Kieth will probably respond here to your problem.... Some times it my be as simple as loose connection inside, BUT wait if warranty is in effect you don't want to go monkeying around inside.... There is no manual reset buttons on unit... Only thing that is possible...Leave a comment:

Depends on leaned skills and what works for what you do... I personally do MIG, did stick in past, tried TIG once, got lot of skill to learn there..

If machine is exposed to moisture and condensation it could be corrosion on switch contacts, had old 180 AMP "tombstone" way back in dim times and sometimes it wold not weld, had to exercise the amperage selector switch to break through surface corrosion.... Might look to see if you can access...Leave a comment:

Look for "steel sales" or "scrap metal" dealers (don't be to surprised if they wont sell to you, some will some will not) that are local to you in phone book.... Purchasing from "steel sales" you can get a 20 ft length of whatever size for about same price as 4 ft length...

If that were case no welding machine would come with plugs on them.... Beside the breaker amperage and wire size is to protect the wiring not the machine (sized accordingly) ...I believe you are in wrong part of Code...

I have found local Airgas to be arrogant and don't care if they have part or not, and that's the price if you don't like, there is door.... On other hand Praxair guys bend over back ward to make sale and search inventory to see if the have what you need and if not in inventory very willing to order...Leave a comment:
