Miilermatic 185......

You will always have a little push/pull with the wire when you grab it with your fingers. Thin wire, a liner that is a little larger so it feeds and 10 ft equals quite a bit of space to take up so 1/2" or so of movement is normal. Glad you found the issue now get out there and burn some stuff together..
Did this on my lunch break today.Had to notch the motor mount for the Jeep manifold to fit. Getting closer to setting that thing in the car.
