    You need to provide a lot more info.
    What Plasma? Machine Torch? Pilot Arc Start or HF start?
    What Controller?
    What THC.

    Lots more info needed. Include software to the list above. Possibly a software issue. Check your code before running it first and see if all the correct on/off code is included and your pierce delays etc are correct before you start trouble shooting hardware.

    This delay has a some LGK plasma cutters. Delay depend from the capacity of the elctrolythic capacitor in the plasma start input. Usually we find this cap and change to lower value (was for example 470 uF - change to 22 uF). Capacitor is on the main control board - just trace a start signal from connector on the cutter face panel to this PCB and find this cap (near this cap usually there are a rectification bridge - 4 diodes)
    Best Regards!
