mig welder gaz circuit! - MIG Welding Forum

first of all, i want to say hello to all welders on this forum

i'm from romania and i may have little problems with english speaking, so please be pacients

i found this site these days and i learn many tips about mig welding here

so, i've bought a telwin telmig 200/2 just last week, it's brand new

but when i plugged the gaz cord and take it out from the machine [just to see if it fits] i saw that a very small piece of rubber [it was about 1mm in diameter] from the gaz cord, entered in the machine, probably in the electrovalve, and i couldn't get it out

i tested the machine without the gas bottle, without welding, but it seems that the electrovalve it's working properly, it opens/closes very good when i'm pressing the trigger

i'm a bit worried now, because i heard if it has dirt inside to much, it may affect the gaz flow

what do you think guys? should i calm down because of my little problem?

how can i clean the electrovalve? can i damage it somehow if i take it out from the unit and dissamble it?

it's this simple enough to do it myself?

Cheers!
