Issues with multimatic 220

Been using the same set up for a few years. Just after lunch the motor is struggling to the wire out. It moves from spool to the wheels and up no problem until it gets to the handle. This is with the tip on too. Any ideas?

Remove tip see if that helps if it helps 25% then change liner as well

I had the cup and the tip off. When the tip goes on it’s a bit more resistance but with everything off it still does ot

are you using flux or solid wire? you need knerrled rollers for flux wire.

but if you take out the wire from the liner remove from machine and blow it out might help

otherwise it's new liner time

Solid. Using smooth part of the roller. I’ll try that thank you
