Up Topic Welding Industry / Technical Discussions / Question on Lincoln Mig Welder
- - By plowboy47 Date 09-27-2005 22:21
On low amps it will burn the wire all the way up inside the gun before it ever starts welding. I have noticed that when the amps are turned up, it does weld OK. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any suggestions for a fix?

With typical MIG welders, the two basic adjustments available are voltage and wire feed speed. The amperage is adjusted by altering the wire feed speed. Are you welding using the suggested parameters that (hopefully) came with the unit?

Regards,

Yes, When this problem first appeared, I immediately reset the machine to the suggestions on the box. It didn't matter.
