Really nice job Bluesman - you have done an excellent restoration of what was a poor very shell! All credit to you.

to be honest when you are working in a garden on a huge extension lead with a welder thats not feeding properly any weld is a miracle.

Hopefully it will be sunny over the weekend and I might be able to finish it all off then thats all the welding done!

Dan probaly no help but was reading up on here

and them saying about the various feed problems - e.g. how the inner snakey thing is considered a renewable item after 1 big coil by the commercial welders, makes an interesting read.

I would be over the moon if I can get the trav to the web Rally!

Definately considered a consumable by us.

ALso check your wire feed rollers Dan, too tight is as bad ,if not worse , than too slack.

I'm pretty sure its lack of pressure of the rollers, with abit of playing about increasing tension it sorted it. Might need to be replacing that part of the welder soon...

What breed of welder is it? I found some useful hints on SIP ones on that site
a

Its a SIP turbomig I think it just needs a new roller assy. or possibly just the swingy roller and springy bit. TBH the welder cost peanuts and it took some work to get it going but its not too bad it just has moments now and again.
