MIG issues
We had a millermatic 200 thats about 20 years old in our shop and over time it got weaker and weaker until one day it quit welding altogether. I noticed the handle heated up on the gun and when I took it apart I noticed that it had been repared with electrical tape before and now all the wires were fried and the whole gun was shot. So yesterday I ran out to the welding supply and bought a new gun for it. I hook the gun up and it runs fine for awhile and then I noticed the wirefeed was not quite right. The wire was binding up somewhere in the torch hose or head and causing a birds nest. I took it out and re ran the wire and re-adjusted the tension on the rollers. Then I had the same problem so I flipped the rollers over (im running .035 wire and the rollers are for just .035 I belive, couldnt find any other markings.) and changed the tip and I got it to weld for awhile with no issues but it seems like the rollers might still be slipping. Is there anything I forgot to do?
