Hi guys - I just purchased an old Migmate 100 to do a few small bits and I've come across a few problems.
The guy I got it from did a test weld and it was all working fine... I've got it home, set everything up and straight away all the wire does is spark lightly when it hits the metal. I've cleaned everything up and cleaned the earth but no joy.
The second issue is without wire fed up to the torch, the trigger won't work - I've stripped it down and the mechanism seems fine, the only way I can trigger the wire feed is to make contact in the relay to get wire up at which point it feeds fine. Does anybody have any pointers on things to check? It appears to have been sat for a while so any vital connections to check?
Many thanks
