just bought this tig welder got everything hooked up, i notice that every once in a while when i press the trigger on the torch switch the gas solenoid makes a weird sound and no gas flows out of the torch.
i have my preflow at about .5-1 and my post around 14-15 sec.

the gas should flow regardless even if there is no arc , as long as i press the switch on the torch correct ?

I have not tried using the foot peddle yet.

what activates the solenoid ? the arc or the switch on the torch ?

maybe its my error ?


thanks in advance
