Greetings all. Decided to convert my rig to a euro torch fitting after the gas valve in the old torch packed up. Rather than creating a spacer to hold the socket away from the face of the machine, I've opted to move the wire feed and spool holder backwards inside, hoping to at the same time make the 5kg reel feed in at less of an angle. Anyway, I'm almost there,but I've come acropper when it comes to wiring the gas solenoid in to the trigger. The new socket comes with two red wires, and if I wired them in to the red and green trigger wires that original went all the way up the torch, then that'd be fine, however, I'm not sure how to wire in the solenoid. Also, I've measured the voltage across the original switch wires, and it looks like it's stepped down to 24v but I bought a 240v solenoid will it still open or do I need to get another one? I'll put up some pictures in a minute to illustrate
Cheers. Tom.
