Chris,

make sure you have the polarity set right for flux core. most self shielding flux core wires need dcen ....electrode negative.

also, try varying the stickout to find a sweet spot.

Make sure your amps are high enough, too many volts makes for a messy, wide weld

Thank you for your input, and you were right changing the POLARITY fixed the problem with the flux core wire,the welder came with out the Manual.
Now back on track and the welder is working well.

Cheers Chris.
