Hello everyone
I have a Sealey 185 Supermig and have just got it out after not using it for about 5 years. It is still in good condition and has not had much use from new. I was putting the wire back in and feeding it through the lance. I took the shroud off and also the tip so that it would feed right through without getting stuck. I put the lance straight on the ground while I was doing this to help the wire through.
When I had got the wire all the way through I noticed that out of the end where I screw the tip on there was a thick tightly wound spring coming out the end. I have never noticed this or had this come through before and I have feed the wire through before and taken the tip off many times before.
I wondered if the wire had somehow got stuck and pushed this part outwards. Having a look online this could be the liner as the images I have found on google show that it has a hard spring type outter shell near the end?
I tried to find exploded diagrams of the euro torch on a Sealey machine but couldn't find much. Is there a piece that has possibly fallen out between the tip and the piece of spring that has come through the end?
