Hold the gun in mid-air and pull the trigger. Try to stop the wire from feeding by squeezing it between your fingers. If it is feeding well it will be very hard to stall the wire feeder. If it stall easily your wire feed is part of your problem.
This is the problem I had, the wire fed out fine until it hit the work, fought that problem for awhile until I if figured to increase the tension on the feed, what a difference when its setup right.

And please don't breath the green gas when doing galvanized metal, put me out of commission for a week!
