My old ESAB AC/DC playing up but posted here as probably common to all welders?
I was testing it a few weeks ago - all appeared fine. Then there was a big soot mark as if no gas. Now the torch appears to do nothing at all.
The welder powers up fine. But no arc nor gas. Gas bottle is still half full.
I tested the 2 pin plug coming from the torch - the switch fine.
Any ideas?
Possibly the gas solenoid? Would that stop an arc as well?
