Welder issue
Posted: Mon Oct 30, 2017 11:39 am
I have a craftsman 110v welder that gets me by. I use a 75/25 gas bottle.
Recently, when I pull the trigger the gas will continue to flow after I let go of the trigger. Eventually it will cut off but it is 10-15 seconds, maybe longer. It is also erratic--sometimes it will not cutoff.
Before, I had the gas to regulator full on and the gas to the machine set about 12psi. I have adjusted both (lowered the gas at the bottle and lowered the regulator PSI to with no change.
Is this a machine issue or a regulator issue? I think it is machine but have no idea how to problem shoot.
Any thoughts?
