Damn dude! You are definately not even close on your settings. Flux core wire sucks for one thing. Another thing, start on scrap metal, not a project! Put your heat on #2 and the wire feed about 1/3 of the way up. That should get you in the ballpark. What size of wire are you running?

Getting a decent welder really pays too. The one I have is great for a hobby person, but it will be upgraded soon. It is a Hobart Handler 140. You aren't going to get a decent welder for under $400 new. Add a gas tank on there, some decent wire and you are over $500, probably close to $600.
