Euro Torch jam

[byron123z]

Hi I just fitted a Euro torch conversion to my welder but the wire will not feed in to the gun at all, no amount of moving the metal guide tube makes a difference. I noticed the gun wire guide seems to have a little bend in it I assume from shipping could this be causing it to Jam?

If you checked to make sure the little metal guide tube that runs down the inside of the socket isnt binding up on the rollers when you attach the torch (i'e when you screw the torch on the inner feed tube isnt being pushed into the feed rollers stopping them from turning) then my advice would be to push some wire through the torch by hand if you're thinking its a torch issue and feel what its doing, undo the tension on the rollers and slide some wire out the front of the machine and push it into the torch manually, then slide the torch back up and screw it on with the wire already in it, that way theres no way of the end of the wire getting caught up on its way through the socket and into the torch

That circled part unscrews, take it out and you should see what's going on.
