how do you like the welder? thinking about getting this for my first welder ever. i was gonna get a primeweld tig225x before i chose this one and the price difference is crazy but at the same time this has all the functions that i’d wanna do such as HF tig and mig and stick whenever i’ll need to do it. i didn’t wanna be limited to just tig since idk how to weld at all and i’d wanna be able to do different types of welding for different projects. but i read on their website this comes with a water cooled tig torch. is that true? and is it worth it to get the extra water cooler instead of running an air cooled torch?

so what was the cause of your feed issue? I am having the same issue with the same machine.

So besides the trigger issue, have you had any other issues with the welder? Im looking at the 275 for my shop.

What cart do you have this unit on?

I have a everlast tig that had a similiar problem also diagnosed over the phone with everlast support. Fix was to disconnect a electrical wire then re-connect the wire. This was the fix. Apparently wire connectors can sometimes need to be re-seated. I am very happy with my everlast as this was the only problem I ever had and it was when the machine was new.

Thanks for posting this video! I have had the MTS 225 for just over a year and it's having the same problem with the trigger but I'm also having other issues with the welder. I bought a $140.00 gas-less mig welder from Harbor Freight that works really well. Makes me wonder if I should have bought budget Mig, Tig and Stick welders in the first place. I see that you are a guitar player, Me too. do you have any video's on youtube?

had a similar problem on my 251mts, the motor would stop intermittently for like a millisecond only while welding and I finally found the 2 contact pins on the qwik-connect coupling were covered in dust from an old roll of hardwire I ran through the machine.

Hey great job troubleshooting the mig not feeding. I was wondering if you'd recommend the lighting mts 275. I ask as I am looking to buy a welder to use at home, and to hopefully start up a small shop at home with. I keep going between the mts225 and the mts275, and I'm not sure which rout to go. I figure if I go with the mts275 I won't have to upgrade later and I can always add cooler later as well if I land bigger jobs. What's your opinion is the 275 worth the extra $4-500CAD? Any help would be appreciated. I'm a welder fabricator building aluminum boats so the AC Tig feature really appeals to me! Thanks!

ugh i want a nice mig machine i really wanted to get this.

Good that you figured it out. Bad contacts happen. Shouldn't, but does happen. To have a spare mig torch isn't a bad idea. Swapping the torch rules out the 50% of the problem. They aren't very expensive 😉

Has the mig feed issue comeback. I seen on face book other with the same issue. Do u know what fixed it in the end if its fixed. I am looking at getting an MTS275 but concerned on quality

i just bought the 275 mts everlast. why not just return it and get them to fix it or exchange it? gosh i really hope mine doesn't have problems.. please update how you are doing with it over the past few months....and exactly what the comments below are talking about for a fix..... or replacement... I am supposed to buy a different mig gun to go with the MTS? exactly which one is more reliable? thank you kindly.

How many AMP do you need to rum that machine?

i have heard that the package stuff and specifically the mig gun is cheap, and to throw it away and get a class gun.

Still good?

Thanks for posting this! I wonder if I'm in a similar boat, although my failure mode is 100% reproducible and very consistent: my feeder shuts off after about a second, 100% of the time: th-cam.com/video/c4AR21rBYvM/w-d-xo.html

Do i need the watercolor for use the tig gun?cause i got the same tig gun but i dont have the watercolor ..can i use it without watercolor?

At the beginning of 3:00 there is something caught in those drive rollers / gears! The one on the right side. Great vid! Get yourself a spare mig gun (name brand: CK etc. ) just in case it starts to occur once again. Very informative. Thank you.

I had the same issue with my everlast 251si only used it 2 times before returning for warranty.

Recently got the 275 for the shop for tig, (tig has kicked ass) but gonna try the mig for the first time tomorrow for a small production run.. having a bad stutter issue with the millermatic 350p and need pretty welds for this project.

Probably didn’t have The whip tightened into the machine good enough or something along those lines

I just looked at it and it comes with the air cooled tig not the water cooled tig and it now comes with A roller that does .030 -.045 roller And you do need A regulator for Mig gas because it only comes with one for tig

I have a Lincoln 100 that I had about the same problem all I did was spray circuit cleaner down in the trigger. It worked. Hope this might help you in the future.

contact in the gun?? I'm very interest to know I am considering this machine.

I just think it’s so cool that y’all can work together on this! And proud of my bro for his invention!

Thanks for the video. Just a couple comments for constructive criticism - your audio level is very low. It would help to use a lapel/lavalier style mic. The picture being the narrow vertical bar is also really bad. It would be a lot better to shoot video with a camera that can fill the whole screen. Good info in the video, just the gear to make it could be a whole lot better for a better viewing experience.
