I haven't used my welder for a little while, but fired it up today for a bit of work
Everything was fine to begin with, but then I had few issues
The first problem I had was with the wire not feeding correctly
Sometimes it would feed, sometimes it wouldn't do anything
When it did feed it was smooth, but sometimes it wouldn't do anything
Next problem was with the gun
The gun would remain live, and if I touch an earthed piece of metal I would get a spark
The spark stopped after the wire had melted/burnt back but if I fed some more wire and then touched it to the earthed metal it would spark again
And, the final problem I had was a gas leak from the gun when the trigger wasn't depressed
I've heard this is just a valve which may be stuck, but I don't know what I should be looking out for
The MIG welder is a Cebora 180 Craft Mig
Are these issues things that can be fixed and can parts be replaced
Here are the exploded and wiring diagrams from the manual
Let me know if you need me to do/check anything else yet, or if you need any photos of the welders internals and I'll upload some for you
Thanks in advance
