This past weekend I sliced into my MIG whip with a grinder. Machine is Miller challenger 172 w/ M-10 gun. The trigger wires must have got zapped too because the trigger doesn't trip the wire feed unless I hold the sliced part together firmly. i.e. duct tape cannot be used as a quick fix.
Looking at my parts diagram, it is not obvious that I can replace the outer sheath by itself. I'd like to fix it without buying a whole new gun.
What are my options?
If it turns out I've got to replace the whole gun, what would I need to do to put a Tweco gun on this machine? Would it be a simple matter of an adaptor or 2?
My impression is that the Tweco guns are a bit beefier than the M-10 and that parts are far more ubiquitous.
Thanks all.
