I'm kinda new to this tig welding thing, but I'm getting the hang of it slowly but surely. I've bust a few 2" SCH 80 carbon steel tests, but I'm not gonna stop trying to get better. I have a problem with my tungsten getting stuck while I'm on the overhead, the sides & the top come out fine, but everytime I weld on the overhead my tungsten & filler rod keep getting stuck, idk if it's cause the tungsten is sticking out too much or what. Can someone please help me with my problem

What are your settings? What is the gap and filler? Are you walking the cup or dabbing?
