Why are my Clarke MIG 152 welds poor quality?
- S
  samantha72Aug 9, 2025
  Poor quality welds with your Clarke Welding System can occur due to several reasons: * Insufficient gas at the weld area. Ensure gas isn't blown away by drafts, or increase the gas supply. * A workpiece that is rusty, painted, damp, oily, or greasy. Make sure the workpiece is clean and dry. * Rusty or dirty wire. Keep the wire clean and dry. * Poor earth contact. Check the connection between the earth clamp and the workpiece.

What to do if my Clarke MIG 152 Welding System cuts out while I'm using it?

  If your Clarke Welding System cuts out during use, it's likely because the duty cycle has been exceeded, and the auto cut-out has activated. Allow the welder to cool for 15-30 minutes before continuing. Note that repeatedly exceeding the duty cycle can damage the welder, and it might be too small for the application.

What to do if my Clarke MIG 152 wire welds itself to the tip?
- J
  jordanwatsonAug 17, 2025
  If the wire welds itself to the tip of your Clarke Welding System, it could be due to: * Wire feed speed being too low. Unscrew the tip, cut the wire, and fit a new tip. Increase the wire speed before operating again. * Using the wrong size tip. Fit the correct size tip.

Why is my Clarke MIG 152 feeding wire erratically?
- C
  calvinrobertsAug 22, 2025
  Erratic wire feed in your Clarke Welding System can be caused by: * The locking knob being too tight. Slightly loosen the locking knob. * A worn feed roller. Check the feed roller and replace it if necessary. * Insufficient pressure on the feed roller. Increase the pressure, but be careful not to overtighten it. * Wire that is dirty, rusty, damp, or bent. Re-cut the wire and ensure it is clean. * A partially blocked liner. Clean the liner with compressed air.

What to do if Clarke Welding System wire feeds into a 'birds nest' tangle?
- K
  Kim PollardAug 26, 2025
  If the wire in your Clarke Welding System feeds into a 'birds nest' tangle, it may be because: * The wire is welded to the tip. Follow the steps to resolve wire welding to the tip and reduce feed roller pressure. * The wire liner is damaged, preventing smooth operation. Renew the wire liner.

How to fix loose coils of wire tangling around the wire drum inside my Clarke MIG 152 Welding System?
- J
  Joel GonzalezAug 30, 2025
  If you find loose coils of wire tangling around the wire drum inside your Clarke Welding System, the locking knob might be too slack. Slightly tighten the locking knob, but be careful not to overtighten it.

What to do if my Clarke MIG 152 doesn't feed wire but the feed motor is running?
- P
  Peter HoodSep 3, 2025
  If the feed motor is running, but no wire is being fed from the welder tip of your Clarke Welding System, consider the following: * Insufficient feed roller pressure. Increase the roller pressure. * A burr on the end of the wire. Re-cut the wire square, ensuring there is no burr. * A blocked or damaged liner. Clean the liner with compressed air or replace it. * Inferior wire. Use only good, clean wire. * A worn-out roller. Replace the roller.
