I've bragged for years about my MillerMatic 252. It's a great welder. I'm beginning to learn I should be quiet, keep my doors locked, shoot intruders in the driveway, and not have children.
A family friend asked my son about borrowing my MIG. Seth said yes, I didn't overrule him.
Stupid, I know. I deserve it.
The nozzle is bent, The contact tip adapter is partially burned away. The new tip threaded easily into it, despite part of the threaded female end being damaged. It was probably due for new consumables anyway. What's got me rattled is that it behaves like it has a pulse feature. Wire feeds intermittently for the first ten seconds of a weld, then smooth for a few seconds, then an occasional stutter. When not welding it feeds smoothly. .035 wire fit is loose in the .035 Miller brand tip. Drive rolls are the same as have been in it for years, they are clean, Seem to be in adjustment.
What am I doing wrong?
Willie
