Hi All.
I have been reading quite a lot of the posts relating to wire speed/feed issues on SIP mig welders. My question relates to my own Topmig 171 turbo and whether that same wire feed issue is shared by this model also.
Upon looking at the feed assembly on my 171 this is of the eurotorch type so doesn't seem to have that same wire feed tensioner body weakness but the actuall weld quality is hit and miss which makes me think the transformer power is split to provide power to the wire feed and welding transformer. Is it the same setup and will the wire feed power supply mod work on the topmig 171 ?
Thanks in advance
