Hi guys can someone point me in the right direction been welding my triumph gt6 bonnet with migmate 150 been fine. Packed the welder away after yet another freezing night welding bonnet/hood back together.Gone to start welding nothing hapens the fan is on there is a click inside when press trigger but the wire does not come through,so thought i'll open up see if any loose conections nothing.Remembered i had a old migmate130 so took motor out put in migmate150 nothing tried the control panel thing that you set wire speed nothing.Do any of you have a clue what it can be?
Thanks
Steve

I have the same problem with my 130 Steve, folk have advised making sure that the buttons controlling power are fully in or out. Might work for you, didn't for mine though.

Thanks Pete i stripped the control panel stripped the wire feed motor took all the wire tension gubbins off and then thought i'll just check the power switches and bingo it started working dddddddddddddddooooooooooo so must have caught the buttons when packing away so had to put the hole thing back together all well i will know next time.

Hehe, down here we call that 'going all round Bristol to get to Bath'.
Glad it's sorted, nice simple (and free) fix.
