Nasty, one starts considering a small night light in the wire bay under thise conditions. Perticularly in the winter. 

if you consider a boom, find a flexy spring like the ones on garden hoses that will fit. I think mine is an old tubing bender.  And then hinge the boom, and use a small spring to hang the hose. The idea is to change it to a curve not move the kink farther outboard. I have no idea why the miller has such a problem and the hobart dosn't unless the wip is stiffer at that end

Ear plugs make a good makeshift wire cleaner

just push the wire through them before putting into the feed roller guide tube 

of course remove from ears first
