KickingHorse Parts And Kit Triage

This matrix helps technicians rule out the most likely KickingHorse wear items, front-end parts, kits, and package mismatches before they move into board-level repair.

How to Use This Matrix

Start here when the complaint could still be caused by a torch front end, clamp, feeder hardware, drive roll, regulator, or package mismatch.
Stage the listed parts or kits first.
If the complaint survives a known-good accessory baseline, move back to the model guide and fault-branch matrix.

Complaint-To-Parts Matrix

Incoming complaint	Most likely parts or kit branch	Stage first	Prove before board-level repair
No wire feed, birdnest, or inconsistent feed on `MA200TS`	`023 / 035` dual-groove drive roll and cast-aluminum feed system	known-good drive-roll setup and plain-steel MIG baseline	prove feed path mechanically before the control board
Aluminum feed complaint on `MA200TS`	optional aluminum welding kit	correct aluminum kit and baseline steel MIG setup	prove whether the problem exists only with the aluminum package
TIG branch complaint on `MA200TS`	optional TIG welding kit	known-good TIG kit and one control path only	prove the base machine first, then the TIG package
Porosity or unstable MIG or TIG shielding on `MA200TS`	`CO2 / argon` flow gauge regulator branch	known-good regulator and gas hose path	prove gas regulation before shared power-source suspicion
Front-end wear or heated current path on `MA200TS`	Tweco or Lincoln-style consumables and Dinse 50 lead set	fresh consumables and known-good leads	prove the complaint is not front-end wear or hot lead hardware
No wire feed, poor arc at higher wire speed, or breaker trip on `F130`	torch front-end seat and tip stack, wire quality, and trigger path	fresh torch front end and known-good wire	prove feed quality and front-end assembly before control-board diagnosis
Display wrong and feed wrong together on `M185`	gun path, drive path, or exploded-view assembly issue	known-good torch path and `S.004RM.702-CA` exploded view	prove the complaint is not assembly or consumable related before display-board calls
Hard start or weak output on `A100` or `A220`	Dinse leads, work clamp, electrode holder, adapter, or extension path	known-good clamp and holder set	prove current path and branch quality before internal repair
No HF, poor cut quality, or no transfer on `P40`	`SG55` torch, `1.0 mm` tip, electrode, nozzle with groove, and front-end retaining stack	fresh SG55 front-end stack and known-good clamp	prove front-end and return-path branch before HF or control-board replacement
Air but no cut on `P40`	blocked gas orifice, misassembled torch stack, or worn front-end parts	`P40_parts_breakdown.pdf` plus fresh front-end stack	prove torch-stack order and gas path before electronics

Fast rules

On MA200TS, prove plain-steel MIG baseline before aluminum kit or TIG kit complaints are allowed to drive the diagnosis.
On P40, fresh front-end parts and clean clamp placement are mandatory before HF-board or control-board calls.
On A100 and A220, current-path hardware still creates many false electrical diagnoses, so clamp and holder proving stays first.
