Default Mig Welder Gas Kit

Does anyone know where I can get a gas kit for a Kende Mag 150r mig welder?

It's gas and gas less but theres no gas equipment with it, works perfectly well as a gas less mig but for doing bodywork Id rather have co2.

It should have it all installed if it's advertised as a gas or gasless.

You will have to change the polarity of the torch and clamp, Read this: http://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/t...ag-150r.26399/

Ok I see how it works and yes it has an opaque white tube going from the gas connector out to the torch, so that means exactly as you say Fez all I need is a reg and bottle oh and a bit of tube.

So the rolls of wire that are with it say this on the boxes, can this be used with gas or is it only gas less using that wire?

Self Shielded Flux Cored Wire

Thanks

Am I right in thinking...
if you change over to gas from gasless, you have to swap over the wires on the earth and torch?

EDIT

OOPS... just noticed post 4 lol
