Hopefully to generate more traffic to this community, it would be very helpful to those looking for mechanic advice.

 

I just received this welded for small tasks around the house. First attempts to weld anything and it is not striking an arc to anything no matter how clean or what material. Finally I tried a quick trigger pull right to the copper on the ground clamp and nothing happened.

Where do I start my troubleshooting or do I just send it back?

Thanks

Definitely being nit-picky, I agree, but I might say that "Diesel Exhaust Fluid" is more "catchy" than "Diesel Additive" but to each their own. If you're looking for accuracy in what appears to be a technical subject, using the correct terminology only gives you more credit. I know nothing about mushroom cultivation but I question your knowledge in it more now knowing you're going to intentionally use false information in the first sentence of your post after being informed.

This is my first post on Lemmy!

I don't know much about a lot of this but what caught my eye was the first sentence saying "Diesel additive" when you're really talking about Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF). DEF is not added to diesel fuel in vehicles but is burned in the exhaust process to reduce particulate matter.

Good luck with your experiment!
