^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
At the frequency you are running, you probably have too much inductance in
your little transformer. Couldn't you hook directly into your welding
cable, so the HV goes in parallel to your welding voltage? Its purpose is
just to ionize the air and get the arc started, and then you don't need it
any more.
