Hi all! A new member here. Unfortunately this time of year business gets a bit quiet for me, so I thought it might be an opportunity to try and pick up a little knowledge and try some MIG welding. If I could get to grips with it, it might save me having to sub jobs out on the trailer servicing.
Anyway, bought a little Clark 90en, never been used and cheap enough for me to use for practice I thought. First bash not a great success I'm afraid. I'm using gasless with flux core. When the trigger is pulled, the wire runs fine, as soon as I start a weld It arc's once or twice then stops feeding.
Anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advance
By the way, nice to see a forum where "newbies" aren't slated for asking questions!
