I love my welder/gen (miller with honda motor) but there's a couple things  
about it...
One, it's a real gas hog- with nothing to compare it to, I don't know if  
it's worse than others.
The other is that my 110 wire feed unit has way less power off the  
generator than house power. Anyone know why that would be and if there's  
any way to tweak things so it works better?

Thanks
