I have a solar 2-125 wire feed welder in trying to

If you have high current rectifiers- you can change polarity by simply reversing the leads of the rectifiers- in other words for one rectifier- the lead attached to the stud would be removed and moved to the "pigtail" of the rectifier, and that lead removed from the "pigtail" would be attached now to the stud end of the rectifier.More than likely you just have AC at the gun. You can check with a voltmeter- open circuit should be around 40 volts. If you use an analog meter set to read DC and it is put on AC, the needle will simply flutter.As for the technique- Wire speed is a little more critical with cored wire than shield gas. But it is set the same way- to the sound of bacon and eggs on the griddle.

Will not weld just splatters

Hi:
27 volts is enough to weld. Have you check the polarity connection according to the wire you are using?
Solid wire: Ground clamp to negative pole. Flux cored wire: Ground clamp to positive side of the pole.

2175 mig welder squeeze trigger unit just clicks

Not heard of this make but the contacter sounds like its stuck. These are not to expensive and fairly easy to replace if you have some practical ability. If in doubt take it to a welding distributer who does reapirs and tell him you think its the contacter and get a quote, depending on the machine i would estimate between £25 and £60. Hope this helps.

Nothing happens when I hit the trigger. No sounds,

You've got a bad switch in the gun, a broken or disconnected wire to the dwitch and drive motor, or the drive motor is burned out. You will need to check each part with a meter of some sort WITH THE UNIT UNPLUGGED!!! It's doubtful that the power into the unit is the problem, but it could be if they split off one leg of the 220 and run it to ground through the drive circuit to ground and get the 110 that way. Make sure that both legs of the outlet are showing 110-120V. If not, then go to the breaker box and replace the bad circuit breaker.

Have solar 110

Yiu can use both innershiel and solid core wire. All you need to do is inverse the polarity for the innershield wire (gasless wire) connect the gun to the ground and ground cable to positive side.

Buy a Tweco mini gun part# 1000-1133 and an adapter part# 2500-2140, and that will solve your problem. Tweco parts are available at every Praxair location.
Get rid of the solar gun.

I just bought a Mishto 220BZ MIG, TIG, MMA inverter welder but it does not come with a manual?

Louis D Biasi You resurrected a 12 year old unanswered question which will now stick on the Homepage, 'Unsolved' despite being answered. It is always better to make a squeaky fresh, clean question of your own. The area where you posted is the 'Additional Information' information are so perhaps the OP can take his apart for you, but where the trigger connects should be pretty straight forward. Electrical schematics are available. Here are some manuals https://www.manualslib.com/brand/mishto/welding-system.html But is appears to also go by the name of 'Rossi'.
