How do you clean out a liner?

[sean-1]

Hi guys got a kamanchi 275 welder cheep the other week and thought I would put it to a good test today as ive had a fair bit of welding to do. The wire is catching in the liner quite bad at the gun end but is very clean through the rest so I dont want to replace it if i can help it. There's no extra length to it to trim the end and didnt know if there was something i could soak it in to give it a good clean?

Use an air line to blow it through.

Tried that, didnt do much good.

Probably got a kink in it then. Take the liner out and have a look.

Assuming its a steel liner in a euro torch.....?

Had the liner out, no kinks or stretching. Might try soaking the end in thinners in the morning incase any grease or something is clogging it.

Sling it in the skip, and go and see Gary up at Northants welding, they only cost a fiver, if its causing you trouble now it will again, usually when you can least afford it too

Fair enough, northants welding is only round the corner from my unit
