A new tip, feed roller, and liner will make it like new. Have you tried tightening the roller? try keeping the cable as straight as possible. Post a pic of your machine with the door open

The sp135 is actually best run with a .023 wire and 75/25 (argon & CO2) mix. The larger wire causes the machine to reach its duty cycle faster. Higher the wire the higher the amperage causing the machine to run hot. The gun is more than likely made by tweco. A good liner from a welding supply is about $25 and don't over tighten the feed roller tensioner. The rollers are also marked and make sure those are correct for your wire size.

get a bottle and reg for the gas upgrade and you will feel like your using a new machine all over again.
