[QUOTE="sledneck, post: 391911, member: 248"] Does your machine have up slope and down slope? Are you cleaning the material and filler rod? If so with what? Looks like you have decent travel speed your not blowing through the base material. Make sure that base material is good and hot, look for it to start puddling up before you even dab in your filler rod then get ready to boogie Alum. Is great you can go from hero to zero in no time lol. Also check and see if your machine has a spark switch if it does try and turn from start only to the on position. Sorry it's been some time since I have used a blue machine.... As much as I like Miller I feel the Lincoln is a much easier machine for the beginner. Miller's have to many options for the novice to mess with and make there job a pain in the ass. Maybe Won't Work will chime in as I thought he said he used Millers. [/QUOTE]
