I have just read through the previous threads about setting up welders and what to do when you get erratic feed.... and having frozen my ass of for the past hour and half checking things out would appreciate some advice
.
The wire is fresh and as suggested I cut off the outer layer to make sure wire was fresh. The wire states is is 0.7 (?) and the feed roller was set for 0.8. I manually fed the wire through into the wire lining tube but could only get it to the brass block holding the swan neck. I tried blasting both with compressed air but no joy.
It looks like I need a new swan neck as the part where the tip screws in is missing a bit (looks like it has melted off!).
Any advice on what I should replace before I go and spend all of my Christmas cash lol.
