Is the wire spinning when you press the trigger, the wire might be to tight or to loose on there.

does the spool actually spin or are there 2 clamped round dies that spin, with the wire going through them?

If the wire is getting pushed back onto the spool your two trigger wires are on the opposite connections.

reverse polarity sucks donkey nuts.

from my post above, if the actual spool is spinning (meaning the spline in the middle turns the spool) then i hope you have the good sense to turn the spool upside-down
