If just a little surface rust on the wire (which can be rubbed off easily) ... take a small piece of a rag and wrap it around the wire somewhere between the spool and the liner, and clip it on with a clothes pin. So the wire will slide through it yet rub off the rust. My local welder told me about that trick.
I haven't cleaned out a liner yet, so I am also watching this thread for that.
