Hello, Thanks for the reply. I did get the wire speed all figured out. I think I was having some ground issues because I took some bare 6 gauge copper wire and wrapped it around my ground and then did some adjusting of the stick out (along with running the 0.030 wire through my finger :shock: ) and ...

Hello, So I have a new liner in the gun and I have installed a new gas solenoid. I used Jody's technique for measuring the wire feed speed for each setting so that is known. Now the only thing I don't know is what does each heat setting stand for? I'm guessing that at one time there was a chart for ...

Hello,

I pulled the right side panel off and sure enough the gas solenoid was cracked. Just to make certain I turned the gas on and I could hear it leaking. I'll order a new one tomorrow and probably get a new liner for the gun as well. Thanks for all your help everyone.

Hello, Thanks. That's what I was thinking about doingthat but didn't know if it would work. I was practicing with the machine this evening and noticed that most of my beads were very porous. After double checking my settings I cranked up the CFH but that didn't seem to help at all. So it took the di...

Hello, I finally got the machine wired up and after some initial stupidity on my part the machine welds really well. About the only issue is that the gas solenoid seems to be a little sticky but I think that will clear up over time. I'm thinking about changing the liner in the gun and was wondering ...

Hello, It runs however I haven't had a chance to weld with it yet. The guy I bought it from got it free and then tried to run flux core wire with it set up for solid. I think he was also running 0.024 when the rollers are set for 0.030 or 0.035. Not entirely sure, as my handle implies I have twins t...

Hello, I would like to know if this is a good welder? I've already agreed to purchase the machine so hopefully the answer is yes :oops: Oh well I thought about asking the forum after I agreed so either way I don't believe in backing out on my word. That being said we have agreed on $200 which seemed...
