I have a Century MIG welder, about 20 years old. 120 volts, 110 amps. Light duty but at times it does the most beautiful work. Gas with non-flux wire.
The wire feed at times is jumpy. I lubed with silicone the wire spool spindle. All looks fine with the feed mechanism. The wire is not rusty. It has the original Tweco gun. This welder has used since new less than 60 pounds of 0.023 wire, so that is light use indeed. Could it be that the liner in the gun tube/hose needs some kind of lube? And if that can be lubed, what is the best lube?
