A couple of months ago I decided I needed a stick welder. Got the wifes permission to spend 200-300 for one. Well I walked out of the store with a Millermatic 210 (wire feed), full tank, and $1400 lighter. I just now got to stop sleeping on the couch. :clap: Let me tell you..it was well worth it.

Now for the problem...I lent it to my brother in law a few weeks ago and the wire would kink after the rollers and right before it entered the line. I just brought it home and hooked everything back up. I cannot get the wire to feed thru the line at all. When I press the trigger I can hear the click inside the welder but the rollers do not move. I loosened them up thinking it was to tight but still have the same problem. The rollers will not move at all. I threw away the instructions because it wasnt having any problem at all till I lent it out. :banghead:

Anyone know of what I can check because I cant fix the original problem whithout fixing this first.

Ok..Got it fixed. I had the gun plugged into the wire feed outlet instead of the mig feed.

Now can anyone help me out with the second prob? I can get the wire to almost make it to the end but it looks like it binds up on something at the last minute and that causes the wire to jump and kink. Can I remove the inside of the cable(where the wire actually feeds thru)??
