1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I don't know if this is an issue with my regulator or an issue with the Miller itself. I know the gas doesn't work the whole time.

 

Actually makes less. Lol

 

Just turbo then stock motor and get all billet internals

 

Hmmm could be either really. Try disconnecting the hose to the machine and see if you have gas coming out of the regulator like these guys are saying. https://forum.millerwelds.com/forum/welding-discussions/34274-millermatic-150-gas-won-t-flow

 

I should buy a better welder...

 

I'll only charge $30 an hour.

 

Good idea. When the gas does flow, it flows with the force of a thousand suns. Adjusting the valve doesn't do anything, it's either gas or no gas.

I hope it isn't something in the machine, but who knows. This thing has been abused its whole life.

 

The fact that you have gas flowing tells me it could be the machine. Crank your needle valve in all the way, then slowly back it out with the hose disconnected to the machine. Sometimes you gotta spin it a bit to actually change the flow rate.

 

I wonder if the AC clutch is bad and not engaging all the time.
If its blowing ice cold then it isn’t a seal system issue

 

Just last week a wheel exploded, got hit in the chest and chin..I was pissed. And I've had them embedded in my arm and hands..hurts like a mutha

 

Let's say it is the machine. Is this a cheap valve I can replace, or is it the whole control board?

 

But @Jamesboy2233 will take 10$ a hour and is better welder​

 

I would embed the pic that osha shows in their seminars of the wheel stuck in a guys face, but its way to graphic to post lol.

 

Im osha certified

 

Actually $30 an hour is cheap in CA, make it $60 and you gotta deal.

And of the two, I believe Im the only one who does it for a living.

Sorry, James, cant let that one slide.

I thought you went to college for robotics. Youre a professional welder?

 

You know, its funny that its always the guys that are Osha certified that do the dumbest stuff.

 

Seen it..seen worse in real life.

 

Currently. I dabbled in wanting to become a welder back in highschool. Got enough skills to earn me a job while Im in school for robotics.
