Hi All. I tried to a bit of 'learn to weld' at the weekend on my Clarke 100EN
I got an Arc for second or so, then none.
I sussed the wire was not feeding. So off with the side and found the wire had stopped feeding.
So i tried to refeed the wire through and managed to get the wire through to the tip and got 1" or so out the other end.
wire started feeding Ok and then stopped. The roller is spinning OK but the wire did not move.
Now, The wire on the reel is coming from the bottom of the roll upto the wire feed tube. Should the wire be coming from the top of the reel instead?
The problem i had was trying to find the idea tension to stop the wire uncoiling on the reel. Also, the reel kept jamming as well! Any tips on getting the reel to spin freely?
As you can tell im new to this!
Cheers.
