Hello, I have a Solar 220v 165 mig welder. The wire will purge using the manual purge button, but the gun will not activate the wire feeder. Although the gun does activate the welding unit.

SOURCE: relay clicks, gas blows, rollers dont turn

If you use it regularly, the liner should be replaced about every 6 months. Make sure you get a wiper for the wire. It goes inside the machine, on the wire, just before the feed rollers. It keeps the dust from clogging the liner.

SOURCE: Mig gas conversion for JobSmart 125 Flux Wire Welder

The other difference between gas/gasless is the ability to reverse the gun polarity which you can't do with a gasless only welder. You can get it to work but not safely and reliability could be an issue also.

If your gun end is a Tweco, those are pretty much standard and readily available from welding supply houses. If the retainer for holding the liner is broken you would get that through Thermadyne.

Have solar 110 2172 mig welder does this mig use gas can i use flux core wire also is owners manual available

Yiu can use both innershiel and solid core wire. All you need to do is inverse the polarity for the innershield wire (gasless wire) connect the gun to the ground and ground cable to positive side.

Looking for a replacement gun for my old solar mig welder

Buy a Tweco mini gun part# 1000-1133 and an adapter part# 2500-2140, and that will solve your problem. Tweco parts are available at every Praxair location.
Get rid of the solar gun.

What mig welder would you I buy to restore a old car.

I always tell my customers that the best machine for a body shop is a millermatic 212 if you have 220V available if not, go to a Millermatic 211 this is one is a dual voltage unit 110V/220V. if you can afford it buy a spool gun SG100 for all aluminum parts, the machine will cost you 999.00 and the spool gun 215.00. Best investment ever for your shop.
