Hi All
New here and getting into welding for a bit of fab work on a track car im building.
I bought a Clarke 151EN today from machine mart and had a 10 min pratice with it, More on that soon.
Firstly, I have a C02/Argon mix bottle on the back with a clarke regulator (as seen in this pic)
Now it doesnt seem quite right to me. When i turn the knob on the top it feels really loose and nothing comes out. Its only when i get it to about 5-6 on the knob that anything comes out, And its only a faint hiss at that.
6 is max on the knob and it bottoms out on the casting so i cant turn it anymore.
Can anyone confirm this if the have one of these? It seems like it does nothing 1-5. Just seeing if its correct or ive got a bad one!
Thanks
Mat
