No. I fixed the binding. Now all it's doing is sticking and melting the wire to the work, rather than making an arc. I got it feeding real good, though.
I know you tried reversing the polarity earlier, but is the polarity correct for gas shielded solid wire? Do you have .023 or .030 wire in it? The others are correct that an 80 amp machine won’t run .035 wire.
