    Question Trouble-shooting PP205 Plasma-

    I've used the PP205 plasma torch twice and loved it, but when I set it up this time there's nothing at all. No clicks, no air, no spark, no nothing. What pins should I be checking for switch malfunction? What's next?
    There is no safe direction to point an unsafe gun.
    PowerPro 205
    Hobart 250HF
    Powcon 300ST
    gas stuff
    14x60 Hercules Ajax lathe
    Gorton I-22 MastrMil
    Landis 6x18 surface grinder
    20" Powermatic bandsaw
    Ancient, big drill press
    350 pound anvil and a bunch of hammers
    If I can't fix it I can make it.....unrecognizable.

    Well first you ought to cross check the other functions first and make sure you are in 2T and all your other knobs except amps are turned down. Check and make sure the wires on the plug have not come loose. Then check the wires on the torch switch itself. Likely one has slipped off.

    Pins 1 and 2 are the ones on that one.

    Thanks Mark. The blue wire spade connector was not well acquainted with it's spade terminal. It works now. Wires one and two. Well DUH! LOL
