I have a Chicago (something) Plasma torch from Harbor Freight and it keeps dying on me...you kind of get to rely upon the fun tools in the shop!
The current issue is that it will spark the pilot arc but not continue to burn (it's like it blows it out, or something doesn't cycle...bad transistor or relay?)...I cannot find anything about the schematics for it and I'm tired of taking it in for 4 weeks to get a $20 part fix and a $80 labor bill.
These things have to be simple enough...just need some diagnostic help.
I would also like to know about other "common" issues the I may encounter and their fix.
