Does anyone know a good website to get welding questions answered?

I am having trouble with my mig/argon setup.

I don't know a good welding site and I don't Mig weld but years ago I used to Tig & Arc weld and your using the wrong inert gas, try helium, and call your local gas supplier to get the correct mixture ratio for Mig welding.

Just a note if your welding an aluminium casting they have some really good arc rod out now that works excellent for that type of work. I haven't done any welding in eight years but give your local gas supplier a try.
I did a little surfing and found these links where you can ask them a question, try these:

http://home.netcom.com/~dwelding/

or

http://www.lincolnelectric.com/focus/ manufacturing.asp

(remove the space in front of the word manufacturing)

What kind of problems are you having?? With the gun? Is the liner okay? Push / Pull system? Good place... www.millerwelds.com or www.lincolnelectric.com What kind of welder is it? If you bought it at Home Depot or similar, goooood luck getting help from a welding supply. they HATE Lincoln for selling to HD and Lowes.
