I have one that's not feeding well , and wonder if it can - and

.035-.045 wire , and I usually use .025 solid . I have .035 flux core
loaded right now , but that was for an outside job that was blowing my
shield gas away and I'd much prefer to go back to solid - I also have
some .030 on hand but haven't yet tried it .


I've heard of guys doing it but usually it's just for finishing a job,
like on a weekend and no-obtanium till Monday...

I was working on a Miller 250MP last winter for a friend and I could
find replacement liners for ~$12 on Ebay. This was a liner for .024
to .035 wire. The only hard part was identifying the part number
needed. His gun wasn't easily recognizable and had the part numbers
worn off.

I think you should check replacement pricing first, don't think it will
be that much. Probably around $25 or less...
