                        Troubleshooting Guide Regardless of which gun or feeder used, all MK Products’ push-pull guns  operate on the same principle.  The slave motor in the feeder runs at a fast,  constant speed, but has very low torque.  It is always trying to feed more wire  than the gun motor wants, and when the motor gets all it wants, it slows the  slave motor, preventing a bird’s nest.  Because of the low torque produced by  the slave motor, a brake system is used to prevent wire overrun rather than  tension.  T
