Re: Everlast 225 LX

I reset the gap on the HF points they were misaligned and around .050 wide. The arc is better but still by no means stable and hard to start. The higher the amps the smoother the arc is but at lower amps still getting lots of sputters. I will call Everlast tomorrow and see what the next step is. Mik...

I think I will replace the ground clamp, Its not to my liking anyway. Has anyone replaced the f...
