So the front bezel on my PP 256 arrived broken.

Last night I removed it from the unit, while waiting for the replacement, to have a look around the innards. Couple loose screw were tightened and a couple of stripped ones replaced. No biggie.

Two questions:

1- Where exactly are these "points" that are supposed to be regapped from time to time ?

2- I would like to be able to check/adjust gas and air flows without activating the arc. Its a simple matter of installing and wiring a SPDT switch (ON-OFF-MOM ON) to manually energize the solenoid during the tests. I've done it on my Red Mig welder.

Would this affect my Everlast Warranty ?

Thanks,
