Macona,
I have an older millermatic 130 where the wire quit feeding. We have had the feed motor go out before so I just ordered a new one and it still does not feed. :o Is there any other common problems on theese units? I see no burnt marks on the circut board and the fuse is good. The only odd thing I notice is when the trigger is pulled the main contactor engauges for about 2 seconds and then shuts off. I cleaned the contacts on the main contactor just to be safe but no luck. The relay that goes to the motor clicks on and off also.
Thanks for any help.
Steve
