It's a miracle!
 

I'd been having problems welding lately & was starting to wonder if I'd lost my touch! Something was wrong & I finally took a closer look at my mig gun & it was frayed where it went into the machine! My rig is about 12-15 years old so I wasn't really surprised so I ordered a new Miller gun that replaced the old one & boom... I'm a real welder again! The new gun had an improved section where mine failed & the unusual thing is... the new gun was cheaper than the old one! :D

I bet the new one came over on a boat and the old one was made here:rolleyes:
Whatever it takes, I know you’ll be like a pro again!

Hey Tripper, what a coincidence, I'm looking for a miracle just like that, [making me a real welder].
Good going.

Had a friend call up the other day with the same issue. His problem was a groove had worn into the first guide and was stopping the wire from running through smoothly.
Glad ya got it fixed [cl

I'm pretty sure that a new gun would fix me up too. The tube right in my gun is not smooth at all.

Mac... the liner is replaceable & pretty inexpensive! The funky connection on mine frayed so I had to replace the whole unit! There are multiple vids on UTube on how to do it!

My welder is a Powcon which hasn't been made for twenty years now. So I have to buy a brand name liner and try to make it fit nicely. The 'nicely' part is the problem. I've tried it. I think a whole new unit like you got would do the trick.

It must be welding issues week. Sunday my auto set helmet stopped darkening. I hope it's just a battery.

Hope so, mine just quit and had to buy another :(

That stinks.[;)
