I wanted info on plasma, not welding
A plasma stream is created when an electric arc is introduced to a gas passing through a restricted orifice under pressure ionisig the gas. The plasma stream can be controlled to carry out welding or cutting operations.

The other difference between gas/gasless is the ability to reverse the gun polarity which you can't do with a gasless only welder. You can get it to work but not safely and reliability could be an issue also.
My CLICK Multi Functional Rechargeable
I bought 2 more torches after finding how good the first one was. One failed after a few months, but I had no trouble getting a refund from Bunnings when they couldn't replace it - after all, they are legally obliged to replace or refund if it fails under 1 year old. Today the second one failed, so it wasn't just bad luck! I took the advice of criss994 and opened it up (you need a special screwdriver) - sure enough, the fuse had blown. Soldering a physically larger one in (M205 - 20mm long by 5mm diameter - I didn't have the 10mm x 3.6mm replacement) was fiddley but there is enough room. The original fuse is a fast-blow 1-amp rated one - so perhaps the induction coil feeding the torch causes a surge, as the unit is rated at only 1/100th of an amp. My replacement is a slow-blow 630mA fuse - it should overcome any surge problem.
My trail blazer 302 welder don’t star , smell gas.
If you are smelling, then the engine is probably flooded. Pull the spark plug out and dry it off. Crank the engine over a couple of times with the plug out. Make sure the fuel is fresh. Reassemble and try again. Without the choke. If it does not start, use a little starting fluid.
