hi guys newbie to the forum but got a few years experience in arc and mig welding.
I have a Clarke 230te mig welder with a new mb25 torch fitted ( welder new to me but good few years old) and having problems with wire feed as when free spooling runs fantastic and when load applied to tensioner when priming the torch goes great guns up to the tip. Then it refuses to feed properly stops and seems to struggle (brand new torch liner and tip fitted) if I pull trigger and pullend of wire will feed otherwise nothing. Have tried every setting and even with tip and diffuser off. Does anyone know of any issues with the feed motor or pcb control board on these? Or any suggestions of where to start looking for an answer please.
