muskrat you would... i swear i JUST struck the arc soon as i pulled away to break the arc and opened my eyes i saw a glowing chunk of metal hit the floor... man i wish i could have seen my face. but honestly i just got done welding some real thin stuff like a day or two before... then my cousins husband decided he needed to weld something so lord knows what he dicked with... i know i wound up turning it down and switching polarities to make the 2 piece pin into one again

Watch the afc video and wondred about the starwheel, when you rotate it it pushes the fuel pin lower down, and since the ACF pin is cone shaped the lower the fuel pin is then the less fuel that is going to be deliverd. cause the profile of the AFC is wider at the bottom. How would that give it more fuel then by roating the star wheel down it would be starting it off in a position where the fuel pin is pushed back giving it less fuel.

The star wheel adjustment only increases how soon and how much boost it takes to move the fuel pin down for more fuel. Just more of a "tuning" adjustment.

its the spring that rests on the star wheel then, so its kind of like putting a shorter spring in there with the same resistance aahhh.

I erase all my youtube comments that I don't like. If they come and comment again I just ban the user. Crossy boy, its not worth getting all wound up over some dillweed that has nothing better to do then post crap like that. He most likely is some zero anyway.
