I'm just setting up my new Eastwood 250MP welder and am having trouble with the wire feed. When not triggered I can move the end of the wire at the tip a half inch ore more. There is that much slack in the core. I sent a video to Eastwood and was told that this is normal. It doesn't seem right to me. I don't have a way to post the video but if anyone is interested, send me a pm and I'll email it to you.
Here's what seems to be happening. To start I need to trim the wire and then push it back into the gun tip. Then as long as I don't release the trigger it welds nicely, see bottom weld on bracket. But as soon as I start and stop it messes up (of course could be me messing up and the problem has nothing to do with the slack wire), see the weld at the top.
Any advice?
