    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.
