Cebora 130 pocket

[seabod]

Hello all. I have just bought this 130 pocket mig and had a few questions. I’m assuming all 130’s came with the little plastic lines for the hobby gas welders. Is there a conversion kit as at the moment it’s a mix of fixings and electrical tape and it leeks like a good in. Also can I convert to a euro touch. And last is there any preemptive maintenance I should carry out.

My first and only MIG welder. A new liner makes a huge difference.

Get one of the metal spiral type rather than plastic.

same here, i got mine for £20 about 40 years ago, still got it, still going strong, replacing the earth lead with some decent size cable makes a lot of difference as well.

Cool what size cable? Might treat it to an upgrade as it should get a bit of use this year.

Has anyone added capacitors to one of these does it make any difference?

Good shout. You know where stocks them. Or are they universal?

i used curtain stuff and it worked, probably the same as "propper" stuff, just the price being different

I used curtain wire from Wilko for £1

Hi,I jus bought a conversion kit off eBay, it's a small hose fitted into a larger one. Any chance I could get a pic of where the torck wires connect, my cebora didn't have one with it.
