Millermatic 200 Gas Valve

admin

I have a 1991 vintage Millermatic 200.  Serial number is KB01648.  I think the gas valve is bad.  A couple of weeks ago, there was no gas flow for the first couple pulls of the trigger, but then it started to work.  When I tried to weld yesterday, there is no gas flow at all.  The manual says the part number is 116-996.  Unfortunately, I can't find a reference to this part anywhere on the net, even on Miller's site.  Is there some other part I can use?  I bought the machine new in 1991, and it's never had a problem until now.  Mint condition, and I hate to give up on it.Thanks,John
Reply:Have one a little older MM200 1986 the gas valve # 003 538 (about $80.00) and is still a good number on miller4less. It is 115vac, 2way 1/4 ips same as # 116 996.You can also source one from eBay from the above spec's.
Reply:Follow up embarrassing information...  As I was starting to troubleshooting the problem, I noticed I had the blue hose connected to the gas bottle.  I immediately realized it's a case of felony stupid on my part.  There is an HTP Powermig 200 sitting above the Millermatic 200, on a custom frame attached to the running gear of the Miller.  I had the HTP connected to the bottle, not the Miller.  The Miller has a black hose.  It's amazing how once you connect up the gas bottle to the welder, it flows when you pull the trigger...
