Hello!
I'd like to ask advice about running gas on this; Alko MIG MAG 105
I have just got one of these handed down to me from Dad's Garage spares.
Although it was given to me working with Gasless wire already installed, I had reason to take the torch apart and found a broken gas tube inside, it wasn't in the pipe leading back to the machine, but there is a fixing at the machine end of the torch hose for it to exit.
It also had a wire liner taped to the outside
, so I decided to re-thread the liner and a new gas tube. With this all done, and reading the other threads about this no-make machine, which Aldi may have done to death, how would I, or even can I, change polarity?
Oh The Beauty!
note my shiny new 4mm hobby gas tube!
Hmm. positive earth?
The torch has a piggy-back connector which makes the wire feed circuit live when the button is pushed, so the gas v/v opens and the wire connection is made simultaneously.
So even if I cut the wires and installed some plugs to enable polarity switching - would the relay that starts the wire motor still work?
Thanks in advance,
Waz.
