I have a silicon bronze gear with one or two teeth that are bad. I would like to weld them up and machine. I have a tig welder can I just weld using silicon bronze rod? Any tips?

Its very easy. Use Silly Bronze rod, DC, argon, and go for it. It welds very nicely.

What about current setting?

Dontcha have a foot pedal?
Current setting depends on the thickness of the material, but in general, copper being such a good conductor, copper alloys like more amps than you would think.
Start low, if it doesnt melt, turn up the power. But for a 3/4" thick gear body, I would be setting my syncrowave at 200amps or so, and feathering in the pedal- if its too much, back off.
