Not sure if this is the right section but i have a snapon muscle mig. The mig welder works fine but i am trying to use the tig torch that i bought with it and for the life of me cant get it to work! i got it hooked up right and am runing 100% argon through it i cant get an arc started. any help would be great. Oh other info on this. there is no pedal for an auto start.

I feel you are in the right section. I do not know the operating properties if this particular welder. For what it is worth....call Snap-On (Product Tech Dept)...or get an area rep ( NOT a tool man) to come out and get it to work for you. You may have an issue with the ground circuit..( just guessing from here). You may need some more added attachments to make it operate properly. Gosh knows you paid enough $$$ for it....have someone come out and get it working for you.

Best of luck with it.
