I'm getting a lot of wire stalls. I've replaced the tips, I've replaced the liner. I have not replaced the feed roller.
It welds ok if I keep the stinger perfectly straight, but if I have any curvature to it, it tends to stall, causing the wire to fuse itself to the inside of the tip, then I'm replacing the tip while burning my finger tips because I can never find a pair of pliers when I'm welding, and they take forever anyway. Anti splatter goop is in use, but only helps so much.
Normally I'd replace the liner...see above, I already did. This is still the stock whip/gun, and it is so thin compared to a proper gun, so I know that contributes.
So is my next ruleout replacing the feed roller? Or did I screw up replacing the liner somehow?
I don't know what size wire I'm shooting right now, but I know I have everything matched (wire, tips, liner size, roller size).
