Well as we get older...  OH you meant the welder :-)


What are you welding and what do you have the machine set at?
That machine should be able to handle 3/16" clean steel without an issue.

Polarity correct? If it was set up as a gas unit and you are using it 
with flux core the polarity has to be changed. If it's backwards it will 
lay a pretty bead on top but with no penetration.

Normally flux core runs hotter than the same wire as a solid.
