[QUOTE="PSG-1, post: 384912, member: 6937"] Yep, 5356 is a harder wire, less prone to bird-nesting. Not much of an issue with spool guns, but with anything else, soft wire like 4043 can be a real b!+ch. As for the delta pad, you could probably just set the jet unit lower, provided that it will still line up with the engine. You can't run with any kind of offset. Even with a spartan jaw coupler, it still needs to be within .020" of square, or it will wear out bearings. But if you do set it lower, you will definitely have better tracking, and will eliminate a large percentage of your cavitation. [/QUOTE]
