Probably thermocouple needs replacing.

Have a try with an Arc set, cheap to buy and no extra gas to buy if using MIG unless of course your using flux cored wire. It takes a bit of an knack to get used to it, slag holes etc but you'll soon get the hang of it and watch that old slag peel of behind the weld. :wink:
