Paul,

The issue you experienced is not likely caused by the hot start. I would look for anything that may have caused a feed issue, worn drive rolls, plugged or kinked liner, worn contact tip, spool brake tension, wire tangle on the spool, etc. Having the gun bent off short to reach into a tight spot could do it also.

Kevin;
My problem was back in 2002 with a brand new 250x and only when using .023 wire. I called Miller Tech and spoke with a Kevin Schuh
(Might not be correct spelling) He is the one that told me to cut one end of Diode D1 and also to add a spst toggle to either have the diode in the circuit or out of the circuit. He also instructed me to adjust Pot R8 as mentioned in the post above. I did exactly as Kevin instructed and the problem of burn back on .023 wire immediately went away. I have never had a problem since. And am very happy with my 250X
