MIG issues

A good way to keep your liner clean is to poke the wire through an earplug so its between the roller and the opening for the gun feed this will keep grit out of your liner.

I think I figured out what the problem was. I noticed the liner (its one of the coil spring kind of liners) was longer than it should have been and I believe it may have been kinked a bit so I cut off about a 1/2 inch and welded all day long with no problems. The wire is in pretty good shape. Thanks for all your help. This might not be the end of my problems but it certainly is not as bad as it was.

Dan I was asking the same questions last year to get my Miller 35 up and going. Same thing we ran down all the likely trouble spots and then it was something that you just have to SEE. good going My Miller had several problems that I resolved over several troubleshooting sessions. BTW loved your interview.

Always try to buy wire on a plastic or wire spool. The pressed board type will collect moisture between the wire and spool causing rust to form on the wire. Ask me how I know....
