It works just fine at 280 volts in and the max setting
on the welder, as a JL. I'm going to try running
without either the arrestor or the TVSS, just to rule
them out. I currently have my gap taken apart, so I
can cut down the motor mounts. That will allow me to
run both sides to see if that helps.
