need to dig into my welder today

[eldubb440]

bought my Lincoln power mig in 2003......it's been an amazing machine

recently, there has been a delay in the gas coming out of the nozzle....... sometimes longer than others, sometimes normal (instant)

it's unacceptable....... evidently, there is a solenoid that is sticking....... I'll get into it later today and see what's up, it needs a good cleaning anyway

Should have put this in your Sunday thread

I'm right there with you on the Lincoln. Good machine. Now... get to work !

Sometimes I have gas come out unexpectedly.
A different type of problem.

I have to admit my air compressor and welder are taken for granted. I just do maintenance on them when they quit. Lincoln here too for 40 years. Miller is awesome too.

You better hope your "S*#t/Fart Separator" (SFS) valve doesn't fail on you! Yikes!!

so here's an update....... I spent thanksgiving weekend in the hospital, scary **** (literally); but they tell me I'm ok ...... needed to stop taking blood thinner for a week so they could do a somewhat emergency colonoscopy; again, they tell me I'm ok......winning!

that was Thursday....... Saturday, I wake up with a nasty flu; like really nasty.....this is the first I've been upright

not sure what I did to deserve multiple *** kickings, but I hope to be back to work by the weekend........

I did manage to open up the welder, but that's as far as I got

I was wondering where you were hiding Mark. Hope things turn around for you soon.

I hope you concentrate on getting better.
I'll be praying for you.
