Hey guys just wondering if anyone had any ideas what may be going on. I have a HTP America Mig welder w/gas. Its a little 120v unit but worked really well up till now.

Last time I used it , about 2 weeks ago I plugged it in, turned gas on, hooked up grounds etc and pulled trigger and nothing. I fooled around with the power cable a little bit and checked source then it seemed to work. thought it was my goof or something.


Today I went to use it, plugged it in etc, does nothing when I pull the trigger. No clicks, no gas hiss, nada. I tried spraying everything down with electronic parts cleaner in the switches and gun. I tried 2 diffrent working power sources, and checked voltage where the power meets the unit and ive got live power.

Anyone have any ideas?
 
There is probably a breaker (small white push button) near the spool and drive rollers. I have not used a HTP America Mig before but I have used Miller, Lincoln, and ESAP 120 volt MIGs before.
