I've got a Lincoln Weldpak, and the feed isn't smooth when welding. It seems to be studder. And if I turn up the feed rate, it seems to get worst.

Per the instructions, I supposed to set the resistance of the wire feeder by feeding the wire against something non-condcuctive (cement floor, etc). And turn the resistance up until I get a slight push back.

I dont' get that. I get a firm push back, and regardless of how loose I turn the resistance. What else should I be doing?

Any help? Thanks in advance.

 

Check the tension on your rollers inside the unit it sounds like they are slipping

 

did you try to loosen up the nut holding the spool of wire?

 

I will check the roller...

The spool nut is supposely where I am supposed to set the tension.

Thanks for all the help.
