Not sure about the permanently live torch on your machine but some older machines were supplied like that from new. If you send weldequip a pm he will sort you out with the liner, regulator etc.
That wire looks pretty rusty, make sure you strip the layers off until you get down to nice shiny stuff, that rust will clog the liner and give you even more feed problems than SIPs usually do

yeah the wire needs sorting out but thats an easy fix either reel it off till its good or just buy a new reel will give weldequip a shout,as you can see the red wire connected to the torch if i disconnect it and turn on it dont run and the trigger has no action(spring or switch is fubar) conect it back up and you have to use the wire feed to control it lol i just couldnt resist it for the price its mainly been used for restoring MG's
thanks wozzaaah
