sup fellas,

i've had my millermatic 175 for 2 or 3 years now and i've run into my first problem...

i'm getting really porous welds like my shield gas isn't turned on or something. but it is, the regulators read out just like they normally do...

everything checks out as far as i know...good ground, clean metal, nothing wrong w/ the tip or nozzle that i can see, the wire is feeding fine.

i'm really at a loss.

can anybody point me in a direction for troubleshooting outside of these completely normal/regular things?

thanks,
malphrus
