I have acquired a Maypole turbo 120 MIG welder from my dad. I have only used arc welding but never a MIG welder.
I started the MIG welder even though the pressure in the Co2 was showing zero. It arced once and then the wire feed stoped. The cooling fan is working.
I cleaned the gun feed nozzle and the wire flows freely when pulled. For some reason, the motor to the wire roller is not turning when the trigger at the gun is pressed.
Also do need the supply of gas on for the wire feed to work?
I am totally new to MIG welding.
How do I test the motor that turns the wire roller and anything else I should check.
Thanks
