Hi Mike,
Alright I'll give the machine pressure test a shot. When I said there isnt sufficient flow what I mean is that when the pedal is pressed and and the solenoid is supposed to be open, I can hear and barely feel air coming through when I had the compressor on it. The line from the compressor was directly to the machine meaning no leaks in the system to the machine so I should have felt much more than just a tiny puff of air.

I haven't tried it though with the gas feed line for the torch and the quick release disconnected. I'll give that a shot as well. I did make sure the lead wasn't kinked visually but nothing more than that.

As for the solenoid check, I can do that as I have already removed the cover per Eric's guidance and know that I have remove the back cover and only after the machine has sat for at least 15, etc. I'll try stretching the spring to add more force as well. If this still doesn't get me going I'll call tech and see and probably alex as well and see if I can get another solenoid on the way to replace it.
