Welder not welding. Help!
So I've got an old ass Snap-On FM140A MIG welder.
I was futzing around in the garage just now and it just stopped arcing. Wire was feeding fine, and everything. I turned the machine off and it worked again for a couple seconds then stopped. I dunno WTF. Where should I start? P.S. It didnt overheat or anything I dont think. I maybe used it a full minute before it messed up. Never had problems with it before :( |

Check the ground. The connection at both ends.

Good news is if it works (even temporarily) after dying, then you have a loose connection and it's fixable. As opposed to completely FUBAR and needs to be taken somewhere else.
Just unplug it before you crack the cover, okay? |
