New welder

[sprayerDrew]

hi before i start i am a complete welding novice! I have bought a used cebora pocket 130 for a brilliant price off a guy who didnt know anything about welders or welding? I have noticed the wire reel tensioner is missing and a jubilee clip in its place! Where can i get the part from ? and what thickness wire is best as im buying new tips shrouds and gas ?
Thanks Drew

Hi Drew, welcome to the forum.

The thickness of the wire depends on what you're welding, have you read through all the tutorials?

last week i bought a new whole wire feed backplate from weldeqip (have a look for his posts on the forum) for (i think) £24 and got a metal liner for another £8, great upgrade and makes a world of difference
