I have somewhat of a dilemma here. My welder recently started skipping and taking a poop w/ gas. I now have flux wire and the polarities switched to weld the rest of my engine bay. The control is terrible and the welds aren’t penetrating like the welder did a while back (with gas attached). I did share a bottle with a friend, but that is no longer avaliabe. I need to finish welding my engine bay in a few weeks so I can have the car finished by my birthday.

What I am looking for is either a tank of gas to try, or a decent MIG with the gas attached. I have parts to trade and/or cash if necessary.

Still need a tank for 5-10 minutes to see if I fixed the welder.
