This is killing me cause my Lincoln PowerMIG 260 arc fails to ignite, Using 0.035-inch wire at 24V, and ground clamp is secure. what is wrong?

Arc failure comes from bad contact or grounding issues, Check tip for wear or damage, My PowerMIG 260 failed to ignite too, Clean tip with alcohol to remove residue, Set wire speed to 230 ipm for consistency, Use 20 CFH argon for coverage, Set voltage to 22V for stability, Tighten all connections secure, Ensure clean ground clamp, Check for steel contamination.

non-igniting arc comes from dirty surfaces, Clean with acetone thorough before welding, My Lincoln starts reliable now, Check ground clamp for rust.

Tighten connections for better arc ignition, it helps.

Use fresh wire to avoid ignition issues, My Lincoln got better after replacing, Check gas flow.
