200 dv power issue.

[Fishbum]

I got my 200dv out yesterday from a three month nap
It is using 240 I plugged it in to the same cord I was just using my mig for
The volt adjuster will only go up to about 120
So I tried it anyway and the ark is all messed up
This is on aluminum. The machine is set to ac all the settings are the same as I welded aluminum before
But no go. I checked power cord with meter and seams fine
I can plug my mig into it and works good. Any help out there??

I'm guessing from your description that you're using a high-amp extension cord. Have you tried connecting directly to the receptacle? The Everlast might be picking up a variance the MIG doesn't. It would at least eliminate that as a variable and prompt you to call Everlast to troubleshoot.

Be sure to call tech support at 877 755 9353 ext 207 if you haven't. Also make sure you have the receptacle wire correctly, or that a wire hasn't loosened up on it.
