You have a gas problem. Step on the pedal and make sure you can feel gas coming out. Around 15 cfh If you do but it stops immediately after, you need to up your post flow. If all that's working you might have the wrong gas. It needs pure argon or argon helium mix. If that's correct then you might h...

Thank you for the reply, I do have gas coming out and have tried 15-25 Cfh and always pure argon. Certain tungsten won't work with inverter machines, for example zirconiated will behave like that on both DC and AC. I use the grey I forget what it's called but it's suppose to be great for multi use ...

If you want to come over and try on my machine to see if there is any difference, you are welcome to. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk That Might be a good option! ...

Ac balance 35 frequency 120 but I've tried 30-40 on the balance and just about every setting on the frequency. Anything over 42 on the balance and the tungsten looks like it's about to explode
