What the fu@$... Couldn't get a drive roller nearby so I grabbed some Lincoln .030 solid wire to try and use this weekend. While I was there just for the hell of it I grabbed some Lincoln .025.. Of course, the .025 worked perfect.. Anyone want some Hobart wire?? Slightly used and only thrown...

I said "intermittent", as in it grabs and lets go. Setting the speed at full (10) it grabs and pushes about a 1/4" every second or so and slips again. And .030 FC feeds perfect. Spool tension - I've had it completely free wheeling and just put my finger on it to not have it birds nest and it...

The factory tension setting is 5 turns on. I tried everything from 2 turns to 11 turns. Slightly better from about 7 turns on but still slipped more than grabbed. And I had the spool all the way loose and tensioned with my finger. No good.

I don't know how many hours are on it. I've had it about 13 years (from new) but have only put (2) 2# rolls of solid and maybe 1/4 roll of flux core wire through it. Only use it for projects at my house. I pulled the liner and blew through with compressed air (got a little dust), ran .024 solid...

I have a Lincoln Pro mig 135 and have always used 75/25 gas and .024/.025 wire (Lincoln or Forney). Last time I used it I ran out of gas and had to switch to innershield .030 wire. The drive roller has 2 grooves, .035 and .023-.030. Stayed on the same side. Replaced the boytle and switched back...

Done. I guess I didn't save it before.

I just did the intro post.. Yes, it was a ****** design by the builder. The garage is finished with drywall/paint. There is a small attic over the side of the garage that the panel is on. I can go to the top of the wall or just straight through the wall and put receptacles right there. That's...

Hi. I've gotten info and help from here just in google searches in the past so figured I'd join up. I'm in Casa Grande, AZ. I'm a jet engine technician and an all around home mechanic on lots of other things (cars, motorcycles, guitars, etc. Pretty much anything I can mess with.) Hopefully I can...

Hi. I'm in AZ. My 2 story house was built in 2005 (attached 2 car garage) and I had extra receptacles installed when I spec'd the house. So I now have (5) 15A duplex (including a 15A GFCI) in the garage. For some reason, on the same circuit is also the 3 outside receptacles (2 in backyard, one...
