Working on my son's car this weekend welding in a new radiator support - basically drilled out the spot welds on the old part, plug welded in the new. At first I was having problems because the wire was feeding too slow. The cable to the gun was making about a 10" radius turn on the floor, and that was slowing the wire down. If I straightened the cable out and got rid of the tighter bends, the wire fed fine.

This seems wrong - sure the radius was tight, but it didn't seem excessive. The cable isn't kinked, and the gun liner looks OK (I pulled it out - same problem afterward). Is this normal and I just need to make sure I keep my cable strait? Or do I need a new liner?
