Mig Liner Question

[Mickey(not so fine)]

Might have a look at the brushes and slip rings...I regularly take stuff apart that's not working, can't find a problem, put it back together and it magically works. I guess sometimes in certain situations stuff doesn't act right until you get the petticoats lifted...

To the best of my knowledge, service manuals are only released to service guys that have done the certification stuff. Before I got certified, I had a fella that would forward them to me and occasionally if you got the right person on the phone from Miller, they'd send it to you. The have stuff now...

Going through the carb from top to bottom and cleaning all the jets and such might get 'er chooching again without too much pain. Although with small Tecumseh motors, I don't even bother...I've very rarely had any luck getting them to work properly once they get buggered up and replacing them has ended...

I had a customer ask me a question about replacing his liner that I wasn't sure how to answer so I figured I'd consult the hive mind.

It seems that everything with metal has gone through the roof in the last couple years. I sell specialty alloys and my cost has gone up considerably with those.

That's awesome! Keep that kid's number! I'd also suggest maybe buying a lottery ticket...I know I would with that kinda luck popping up.
