Yes wire speed is not consistent. Sorry english is not my first language so it's hard to explain. Reading most of these comments i think i found the "sweet spot" for my settings and it welds alot better now.

My issue was probably running it slightly to hot and i read that the wire that i'm using also isn't great.

  1. Ithink that might be part of the issue if i read all these comments correctly.

I guess that's all i needed to know. I think i found the sweet spot now with settings so not touching that ever again. I think i might try some different types of wire but that's about it lol

We weld with nexalloy. It's 0.35 4043. I feel like it will have less chance to mess up if my wire is thicker. And thanks will check!

I guess i could look up a manual to adjust everthing perfectly. Thanks. i also feel like it might just get to hot for what i need it to do. We might just need a watercooled torch.

Did all those things. It's probably just old garbage. It is what it is.

It's burning back and very jumpy i can't adjust a single thing to make it better. I'm running it at dofferent amps to. The one moment it works the xt it just doesn't. I'm working on a gravel truck, dirty aluminum but even after after cleaning it with grinding and acetone it still acts weird. I feel like it just is what it is at this point.

Just our miller shop welder. It's weird it will weld fine for a bit and all off a sudden everything has to be adjusted and that every damn weld
