hi ,
i after some advise on a murex 160 tradesmig, just dragged it out of the back of the workshop, and it is down on power, even on power setting number 6 cant have the wire speed above 3, no real penetration
i have replaced all 6 caps, have checked all 4 main diodes in the heat shrinks all really close reading and only one direction, new earth lead/clamp. the dc voltage on the power switch is
no 1 is 17 v
no2 is 19.4v
no3 is 21.2v
no4 is 23.4v
no5 is 26.1v
no6 is 29.4v
this was checked with machine welding with multimeter between earth clamp and the wire motor +
is there anything else i can check before loading it up and going for a 4hr drive to drop it of at the nearest repair centre.
thanks for any help
