I'm having a problem with a Mighty Mig 100. It's 1 month old and I'm stuck in France, hence I can't take it back under warranty just yet.
It was welding great on the supplied wire but started losing the arc causing the wire to push the torch away from the workpiece. The fault is random and happens anywhere from 1 to approx 3 times a second, and it seems to have become worse since I changed wire rolls (new reel is a sealey wire too). It's possible to continue welding through the blips although bloody annoying!
I first thought it was a wire feed issue and tried every possible combination of feed tension with no change. It occurs on every setting and on any thickness of material from 1mm to 3mm. Basically, it seems that the arc is lost momentarily but the wire feed continues.
Many thanks in advance!
