What the Hell???

Well, I had an interesting problem with the welder while doing the last gussets. The wire welded itself to the liner where it enters it inside the machine. I ground off what looked like a tack weld on the end of the liner and tried to pull out the wire from the nozzle end, but even after I got the very end loose, it wouldn't budge. There must have been another area where it was melted inside te liner. Nothing was inside the machine cabnet that could have contacted the power source connections and the liner so I don't know what happened. The guys at the welding shop don't either. I bought a new liner, installed it, and everything works as usual. Maybe it was a freak accident. In any case I now have a great wire fish (the old gun liner) for getting the trailer light wires down the frame.
