Hi!
maybe you could tell us some more about your welder? min-max amps, etc?
Some pics would be great!
Welding thin stuff is tricky, the stop-start technique could help if it's too thin...
edit: duh, sealey mighty mig 100, i've found it out when i checked your profile.... what's the min amps on that kit?
yes its a mighty mig 100, non fan. old skool kit i know but didn't cost much
min amps is 30 i think, maybe 35.
Its obviously wire feed has been a problem for the past owners so i'm wondering if someone has had a play with it. When wire speed is on minimum it still feeds far to fast. I dont know if there is a way of altering this?

Have you had a look at the PCB - I don't know Sealey welders but my SIP had a trim pot on the PCB that you culd use to set the wire speed to a creep on the lowest settings
i would suggest a 12v bulb wired in series with the motor works as a resister i use 1 when i charge my 6v bike battery as i'm to tight to buy a dedicated charger.let us know how you get on cheers Nick
ok i've tryed a 12v bulb and it did slow it down a fair bit, i think with 2 bulbs it would be ok. The motor isn't as strong though, i can stop the wire feeding by hand easier, not sure if this is a problem yet though.
