Say, I just bought a Handler 135 and was reading about your problem with the wire arcing and getting hot enough to melt a groove in the wire guide. My welder has a plastic adapter or holder for the spool that keeps the spool away from the metal inner cabinet of the welder. Did yours come with that ? I'm just curious as to how old your welder is. After reading your post I went and checked my welder and I have a metal washer, spring, and nut on the front but the plastic spacer or spool holder closest to the inside of the cabinet. Do you think I should make a thin plastic disc to put between the front side of the spool and the metal washer ? Or is the problem primarily in the back side of the spool where it's closest to the inner cabinet?
Thanks, Tim.
