S62 Wire Feeder , no gas

[Rgt911]

Hello Gentlemen, I placing my first post, can someone please direct me to the correct discussion trail. I have a wire feeder miller S60 series (s62), Serial Number KE711442, stock 131785 is attached to my shop master 300, I bought it used. I have an issue with NO GAS Flow, I did replace the Gas valve with Miller 222837 GAS VALVE KIT and still Have no Gas Flow, When I press the Gun, the machine does feed the wire, the issue is just the NO gas flow, Can can some one assist with this?. AT first I thought It could have been the female 8 pin connector so I attached a "different" wire feeder to the Power source (SHOP 300) it did work.

Obviously a board relay issue, if you replaced the gas solinoid. did the purge switch not work? Dont think you mentioned it... Unsure on the 8 pin connector?

First of all thank you for your assistance.....Good point Cruizer forgot to mention that the purge switch does not work either. I have not replaced the purge switch yet..would that possibly affect the valve?

[cruizer]

No, but that tells me that the relay on the board is not working, or the wiring to the Gas solinoid is defective

[Rgt911]

I already check the wiring to the Solenoid and it checks out.....Is the relay on the board something, I can purchase separately without buying the entire board?

[Rgt911]

Thank you, I checked the wiring to the solenoid and it checks out....can the Relay be purchased separately, without buying the entire board?

[cruizer]

Nope, relay is on the board. now its a plastic rectangle thing, merely tap it with something to free the points

Great, Cruizer As it turns out, I tested the feeder on another power source and the solenoid did work.....I checked my shopmaster 300 14 pin connector and I a not getting the 24v reading from A and G. Could it be the same thing a Relay in the shopmaster?

Then I'd guess that youve either dropped a phase, really low phase on the shopmaster, or its set for the incorrect input power. A to G should be around the 26 Volt mark, any less than 20, and you;ve got problems May also have a popped 24 Vac breaker, though thats not likely the case as the drive rolls on the feeder work.

Thank you Cruzer very good information I will into that today..I am glad you have this bast experience, otherwise I would be totally losttt.

On following your recommendation, I checked the set up for input power for the shopmaster and bingo!!, it was the wrong setup, I Corrected to 230v and now both units are working fine. Thank you
