I have been browsing this site for some time and hope someone can help.
I purchased an SIP Top Mig 196 Super new around 4 years ago. Due to circumstances it was a few months before I was able to use it.
I set it up to use, it immediately burned wire to tip. Wire feeder works ok. I upped wire speed to full, still burned wire to tip.
After investigating I found wire feeder didn't move until I set switch to number 6. Wire speed then drops back when trying to strike an arc. Burned back to tip again.
This is a brand new welder that I am unable to use.
Any advice would be welcome. Terry
