This statement is a little confusing....
What is your description of "standard MIG wire".......
Personally I prefer solid wire and shield gas (GMAW) ... But that is just me..... Others like fluxcore (FCAW)...
Fluxcore has somewhat better penetration and...

Try to stay with a machine manufactured in country you reside in.... Many Chinesium machines maybe ok, but if it fails it may be a good door stop as parts to repair may be non existent....

What is machine setup as for polarity wise, DCEN or DCEP.... IT may be a clue as to what wires is in machine... Fluxcore should be DCEN...
If its is inexpensive welder that you can not change polarity in or does not have any provision for "shield gas" its most likely fluxcore......Last edited by Dale M.; 03-27-2020, 10:46 AM.Leave a comment:

The door chart is only a approximate starting point - just "ball park" .... Use setting(s) on chart closest to the material you are going to weld...

Amperage is amperage and watts is watts. .... Generally in transformer welders as the voltage goes down amps goes up.... For example at welder that draws about 20 amps at 240 volts can put out about 200 amps at 24 volts ac, the criteria here is what the transformer winding are, basically to support...Last edited by Dale M.; 03-25-2020, 08:40 AM.Leave a comment:

IS it PSI or CFH ... Most MIG regulators are rates in CFH ( I know its actually just a differently calibrated pressure gauge and orifice to convert to CFH) .....

Several thing could be at issue,... First maybe dirty or worn liner in gun whip, worn or damages contact tip, maybe your stick out is not enough and you are causing wire to jam at contact tip.... Have you gone through all the troubleshooting procedures in manual?
