    what are you guys paying for welding gas?

    Yeah, my welder can take up to a 10lb spool...sounds like that is the way to go if I opt for flux core..the $56 for the gas.. was that on a leased cylinder or a cylinder exchange? or was that just for gas only?

    what are you guys paying for welding gas?

    I have no probs doing any fab with my 110...it penetrates 1/4" just fine, all the way through....and with me welding on a samurai, about the biggest i have to weld is 3/16", which it penetrates without a prolem on its 2nd highest power setting...I was also looking at going gas for the spatter...

    WTF?!?! Why cant I pass emmisions?

    I would say around 169,000 miles(hard to tell with a sammy since it reads as xx,xxx.x on the odo, so you dont know if it is under 100, over 100 or even over 200,000....everything was put to factory spec on the top half of the engine when I installed the isky racing cam....I had a new cat put in...
