Hey guys. I have a Sealey 130XT (bought second hand) and have only just got round to using it.
It looks like i'm leaking gas in the gun, and on closer inspection, it's coming from the connection assembly in the gun. In this MIG the valve is in the gun. There's an o-ring in the assembly that had popped out slightly, it's where most of the leak was coming from. Now that's back in place, further around the o-ring i have found a smaller leak. It looks just like the o-ring hasn't seated properly.
Am i able to open up a unit like this, or is it a simple matter of buying a new one? If i can open it up, how do i go about it?
You can see the edge of the o-ring in this photo, at the bottom of the white assembly unit running horizontally.
Cheers, Patrick
