Hey John, had fun, and loved the sandwiches the misses made for us. I really think you would benefit if you hooked a 240 plug for your welder. I was amazed you were having to run 123 amps to run your TIG torch. When Rick and I did his Tranny mount I was doing okay and we were running a 90 amps. I noticed yesterday that your tungsten was glowing red all the way up into the torch, I think thats the higher amps your running is causing the tungsten to do that. I think the 110 volts your running could be causing the torch to struggle and need the higher amps. With 240 you could run lower amps and have a more consistant arc, and possibly run lower gas also.
