I'd say you are on the right track.

From personal experience a few times, it's a wire feed problem. When the wire feeds too slowly for the current, it fuses to the tip.

To check. Pinch wire between finger and thumb. If you can stop the wire easily, and the feed motor doesn't slow down, then it's likely the pinch rollers or the liner. If you can slow the motor easily, you may need...

Hi Kevin,

Cheers

cheers KGM

0.6 wire
The only other thing, it was pretty cold and damp. Not raining but one of those still days when any cold surface gets a coating of condensation. I wonder if that maybe was causing the rollers to slip on the wire.

Are you gas or gasless wire Guy
