I was using my 185 last week with 0.8 to weld lots of rebar and it was burning back to the tip more than usual. I eventually ran out of 0.8 so stuck in a part roll of 0.6 I had kicking around and reduced the power setting and wire feed which was burning back a lot more than before. What I noticed was the wire was intermittently feeding from the spool and it was sort of pausing although the feed roller was running continuously. I slackened the cap head bolt in the centre of the wire spool support shaft which made things a lot smoother but still slightly problematic.
Is there a common issue with these or is it just a case of the bolt has gotten tighter with use. I've had it about 4 years now with little or no maintenance.
