How can i upgrade the earth,liner and bigger gas bottle on this set, i have little knowlege of machine maintenance
My machine doesnt look like this inside,the torch n earth look fixedas goes for gas bottle you choose your type either a boc account or a hobbyweld account the other alternative is co2 gas bottle also known as pub gas
earth lead is easy new longer length as sometimes that machine needs it best to trace the old one to its connecting place

as goes for your liner
https://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/threads/clarke-150te-torch-liner-service.21324/
Do they come standard with plastic liner,do you think its worth metal liner and good earth?my torch and earth are fixed by a wire coming out the front for earth and the gun strip that is within the other side of the reel place the clarks internals
there all mostly generik on there builds
I dont fancy attempting that bud i know nothing about it hahaI’ve done the same modification on this machine.
If your confident install a plug to fit a connector like this, just cut the internal cable, crimp to lug and then attach. My earth cable is 5m long with a good quality crocodile clip.

For the gas, I machined up a fitting to go from thin pipe on machine to the size of hose I had. Then used these chaps to give me quick release for gas. All mods work a treat
These are the fittings,

Im gunna order new liner or maybe new torch mines the standard torch it comes withmetal liner plastic for another type of wire
I also have done the swan neck liner as well easy enough to do on the clarke machine and brings it back to full working order
total price from machine mart 14.38 for both metal liners
i did both the gun tip and also the lead liner then used new tips on end of gun
only thing i want to do is change the length of earth on it as it would be better with a longer lead even a thick connector block would do this on end of its own earth lead
Im gunna order new liner or maybe new torch mines the standard torch it comes with
Might just pay someone to do that ,costly if i mess it up considering i baught it not long ago brand newYour quite limited with torch as it’s permanently plumbed in.
Next option is for a euro torch conversion, allows you to have up to 4m of torch. Requires open heart surgery of the machine
