023 wire caught in line from machine to trigger on my 175 T lincoln welder

sounds to me that the sealing o-ring or gas block is cracked ? maybe from pulling machine by the cable?? ( ohh what welder would do that ?) id remove the cable from the gas block and ck both of these items , both are replaceable O-rings are cheaper of course (take care to be looking for trigger switch wires there too )

Use the .030 flux core wire with the amperage settings for .023 solid. If you cannot find .023 settings then just set low power first and play with it to see what works.

Hi:
If your wire feed motor turns, then your problem is one of the two:
The gun's liner is kinked and no longer is allowing the wire to pass freely, or Your outlet wire guide/drive rolls are all worn out.
Easy fix will be to star with changing the liner and new contact tip. But if all that is working is your fan motor, then check your gun's trigger, if gun's trigger is OK, then change the pc board. Good luck!

It could be just the simple problem of the trigger not working. Disconnect the trigger wires from the machine at the plug at the front of the machine. See if you can manually trigger the machine by placing a piece of bent over mig wire onto the contacts. If the machine does trigger from this then your fault is in the torch somewhere. It could be the trigger (which commonly does fault from a dusty environment) which is easily replaced by going into any welding store with the torch model number (magnum 250L), or it could possibly be that a trigger wire has broken from the torch being damaged

Hello, do you have the welding tip in the nozzle? This tip provides the proper grounding of the electrode wire.

If the machine has diodes check them. Also if it has a bridge rectifier check it. My 120 would not feed wire and the bridge rectifier was bad.

First thing make sure the lead cable is as straight as possible. and make sure the wire has a unobstructed path. then you should check the trigger input/output switch and see if the switch is getting power to it continuously. I hope this help please rate this thank you

Make sure selector switch is not in between settings, this is where the wire feed voltage comes from.

gas regulator needs checking or replacing!
Or you can use GASLESS WIRE!

is the unit set for the right input voltage.
