Hello all, new to this forum and first post so here goes!! I recently brought a old second had mig mate 120 and on my first attempt using it the other day it wouldn't maintain much of an arc and just kept popping and spluttering, today I got it back out and tried to suss out what the problem might be in decent light and relised I've got no gas flow at the torch, I took the hose off the little regulator and tried blowing down the hose with the trigger pressed but felt blocked, so what I'm asking is do the little solaniod valves fail?? I've got some sort of voltage on the two wires to the valve but not measured it just checked with volt stick. I also better add I'm new to mig welding but can do a little bit of basic lead welding. I'd be really appreciate any feed back/advice, many thanks Alex
