Drive motor on Mastercraft MIG welder stopped working.
So with some time off I stocked up on beer for me and vodka for the females and figured I would get back to trying my hand at mig welding. A while back I got a bottle of Argon mix gas with new regulator. Got all set up, switched leads inside as per instructions. Literally got 5-10 seconds of welding and motor stops driving the .023" wire. I had also swapped the drive wheel to fit the wire. Everything hooked up properly as best I could tell. I even followed the instructions.
Now the drive motor doesnt work?? Pull the trigger and all I get is a click. No movement. Pull the die for the wire off the motor shaft, still nothing. I think the drive motor is kaput.
I can ( and will) call Canadian Tire tomorrow as that's where Dad bought it for me. Sucks as it would weld with fluxcore wire, but I'm a newbie welder for the most part. Not even 1lb of fluxcore thru it and now motor just clicks.
Just get all setup and I got to amend **** for 10 seconds lol.
Thanks
