Hey every one I am new to the forum
I was given an older mig welder it does gas/flux the brand is telwin
The problem that is wrong is when I turn on the welder it automatically starts feeding wire
Has anybody ever had this happen to them if so please let me know

Take the gun apart and check the trigger.
The contacts are probably stuck.

Probably a bad relay or bad circuit board, then.
You said the brand was Telwin? Do you have a model number?

Hey,
does it weld constantly or merely feed wire? that could narrow your search

Hi it turns on fine but just feeds wire with out pushing gun button to start feeding
I have determined that it is in the machine
Have not welded with it yet
I have pics in the mig forum on this forum
