Hi all, this is my first post here so i hope this is in the right place, but i currently have a problem with my welder,
I have a Clarke Mig 135 Tubro welder (bought from Machine Mart) which worked great until this evening, i think that the gas is not getting through which is stopping the welds from penertrating ive been using the welder for a couple of years now, and i noticed that when i pull the trigger just slightly you used to be able to hear the gas coming through but now you dont unless you unscrew the gas bottle from the regulator and do it back up again then you get a little burst of gas from the first pull of the trigger then after that no more gas comes out.
I replaced the gas bottle using two other full bottles that i had and still no luck i even pushed the little dimple down on the bottle and a shot of gas came out so i know theres some in there.
does anyone know what it might be, im sure that the gas used to come out on every press of the trigger could it be the regulator or something else??
thanks in advance Greg
