Hi there,
I've been playing with my new toy for a couple of days now but I'm not convinced that there's sufficient (if any?) gas flow.
As a complete novice I may be missing something, but having got the relevant connectors from weldequip I've set it up on canisters I'm still not so sure. I've got the reg valve set at 4-5 (there's definitiely gas coming out) but when I pull the trigger with the power off there's no hiss of gas whatsoever. With power on, not welding, and pulling the trigger the wire feeds fine and there is a small 'phishh', just a small puff, then it seems to stop. Its the same at reg setting 6.
Any ideas as to how to test it? My first practice welds seem OK judging by threads on here, but aren't that nice 'smooth' appearance - I don't know if thats operator error or lack of gas?
