If the increased time before the issue occurs is a result of increasing the regulator pressure I would assume it t be a gas blockage - a simple pea-shooter gauge will confirm this or by ear - if that is the cause start with no hose on the regulator & confirm good flow - then check hose for kinks to machine - then remove torch & confirm flow from solonoid valve - then check torch without consumables fitted - then check consumables - some manufacturers tolerances will not work together or it could be as simple as bad a collet .
Are you still using the factory supplied torch? Or an aftermarket one? Not that an aftermarket one is a bad thing. But I could see where the little hose on the factory one, that goes from the gas fitting on the front of the machine to the torch/machine dinse connection, might leak.
I have more questions than answers

Many cameras (phones) have 'macro' setting, which is used for very close focus. You likely know this already, but just thought I would toss it out there......Thayne78 wrote:.....It was taken with a cellphone and the picture is good on the phone but sucks on the forum. Sorry about that..
We figured it out.
A bad bottle of argon.
What I'm convinced that it's 75/25 that is miss labeled.
I got a new bottle today it works.
Just because I could I swapped my MIG welders 75/25 tank on and it caused the exact same problem.
Thanks for all your help

I never thought that the camera on my phone was so good.
It's a cellphone.
I searched the web and got a few pointers and cool. There are adjustments I never thought possible.
Thanks
