I recently bought a Millermatic 252 welder.
I've used the welder maybe a dozen times for welding in a bodyshop. I was welding in a rear floor pan and stopped to take lunch. When I returned and started welding again I didn't have any gas flow. I checked all the obvious things such as a kinked line or clogged gun tip. Looking at the regulator mounted on the gas bottle I noticed that the the gauge was pegged to the maximum where I usually set it at 30. I tried to make adjustments but it wouldn't change. I then took a regulator off of another welder in the shop and the gas did start to flow again. I think I have a faulty regulator. With that being said, will this stop the gas solenoid from turning on? The reason I ask is I want to make sure I don't have another (or different) problem as well.
Thanks...
