Hi,

I received my PM-205 a couple of months ago and immediately put it through its paces. Everything worked great, both TIG and Plasma. However, after doing a few hours of TIG, I tried to cut again and it no longer works.

It will not start an arc with the torch a bit above the piece. It will start an arc if I touch the torch to the steel, but the arc dies as soon as I pull it slightly away. It seems that the pilot arc is not working?

The torch is assembled correctly. My air pressure is 65 PSI with plenty of flow.

thanks,
casey
