Hi everyone.
It's been a long time since I have been on here, I did all the mods to my SIP topmig 130T a couple of years ago and have been using it very successfully ever since.
Today I just finished a job and the wire stopped feeding, the drive motor has given up the ghost. I tried cleaning it out with some WD40 and it started again, but then caught fire.
Is there a better alternative than a SIP spare, (assuming I can get one), It is just a standard small electric motor. I have not looked yet to see how the drive is attached? I am assuming it is interchangeable.
Does anyone know the size of motor I need? Can I put in a motor that will run a bit faster as on high settings I am running out of wire speed.
Thanks.
Matt
