I have a Lincoln SP175T Mig welder with very little use on it. I have been very pleased with its performance in the past. Just recently, I noticed that the wire feed is erratic causing a very inconsistent arc and very poor weld. It sounds like the wire feed motor is surging. Sometimes it will work well for 2-3 seconds then start surging. It doesn't matter what wire speed i select. It will happen at any speed. I an a hobbyist welder and use the welder probably 6-8 times per year. Any ideas? Thank you
