Ed Kennell 38,145 #27 Posted December 16, 2023 Make sure the ground is on a good clean metal surface as close as possible to the point you will be striking the arc. Path of least resistance ya know. You can remove the battery, engine, and all wiring, But with the ground at the wrong place, I would be more concerned about arcing thru bearings. 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Truth be told Ed I kinda wished I woulda had to go that route if nothing else to sharpen my welding skills. I can't toss the required 100 arrows a day to keep my bow skills up to date and goes even more for my welding skills.

I love threads that get totally derailed to the point where nobody remembers what the problem was in the beginning. The best part is that the solution to the problem had nothing to do with the subject line of welding! 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
