R. Funk, Do we as blacksmiths follow all codes? I would certainly hope so. Codes are not suggestions or ideas,nor are they rules to be bent or broken,winked at etc. Do it right or do not do it. My old johnson gasser could not be run inside, so I run it outside.

I have an odd habit of over building stuff... It gets me in trouble sometimes.

Something a lot of people tend to neglect is keeping welders clean, wether it has a fan or not, once a week or so (more if your in a especially dust area) take your air hose and blow them out, the dust and such that collects inside greatly reduces the cooling which is important if you want the unit to last a long time.

Newbiesmith, sorry I didn't see this earlier. I have had several of these welders and they do have fans. I highly recommend that you repair the fan, copper core or not it will burn out.
