Hi
I was given a Ryhas 30-135 mig gas-no gas welder. The guy who gave it to me had had it a good while but he said he never got on with it. On playing about with it I found the wire speed controller did nothing at all, I took it apart and the arm inside the pot wasn't making contact on one of the tracks. Anyway I sorted that and now the speed controller works fine. What I'm wondering is, is the wire feed motor a direct drive or does it go through a gearbox assy of any kind? The reason I'm asking is although it now feeds ok it sounds a bit 'graunchy' if you know what I mean, if it's a gearbox I'll probably have a go at taking it apart and maybe clean and lube things. Anyone know?
