    Another thing to check is to make SURE the wire wheel turns freely. I had a new welder that I had to add a washer to because as it would turn it would tighten up to the point that it would "torch" no matter how much I adjusted the wire speed.

    I'm with Pat... If you have run much wire thru it, it could need a new liner. Also, make sure you have the torchline running as straight as possible when you are welding. Too tight of a radius or curl in it can pinch the wire in the liner or make it drag.
    If its not worth doing right, its not worth doing... Donny, MaxxMuscle Custom Painting
