@@MonkeyWithAWrench as far as MPG goes, I have no idea. Neither was tuned for economy. The sniper has basically infinite adjustability since I’m sure it can be tuned for good MPG. I have a 22 gal fuel cell so the range is amazing. Another option is to use the 1.6 16v top end on a 1.3 block. Petroworks has built these and can help you with it.

Just came across your video and I have a Millermatic 200 which is doing the same thing. You let go of the trigger and wire continues to come out and it's hot. Sometimes when you let go the wire stops but it's hot and if you touch the hot wire to ground the motor starts. I Got Lucky and found one of the original Furnas 114780 contactor on eBay. They are 120 volt pull in though. If I read your serial number correct JK55***5 you're welder was manufactured between January - June 1989. I was told by a Miller tech that the 2 wire drive motors were still serviceable and the 4 wire drive motor that are obsolete. I also got lucky and found a SP35 on eBay, they are fun to use. Miller makes it easy to install on your welder there is a plug near the opening in the face plate, you remove the jumper and the SKP35 plugs right in. Saves the contactor when you are spot welding The yellow taps are still available also. Part number 039878 and 057608 from Am*zon, just under $40.00 each.
