what rods are you using? 6010, 6011  7018 or what.

i its a 60xx rod run it down hill.   if its 3/32 which im assuming it is max the machine out and run it downhill.

if your welding with 7018 then u wan to run it uphill.   u will not get shit for results running the rods in the wrong direction.

I run 6010 uphill all day, in fact you can get run off a job for going downhill with it...unless of course it's a pipeline.

For what he's welding, I'd get some 7018 and go to town. Much easier to run than 60** for noobs

these rods are hf quickstrike 6011s 3/32. i bought some hobart 6011 3/32 that just plain suck ass. this pipe that i welded on is just some autozone piping i imagine its just standard galvanized steel so i bought a generic rod for it

where the fuck are you guys finding welders for $60?  Yes, i see this one says its from walmart.  Walmarts near me have a cheap fluxcore for $150.  Cheapest I can go is $109 for one from HF brand new.  Although I could try asking about returns they haven't restocked yet.  A bunch of people around here buy then return from there.

it's a stick welder not a fluxcore welder

That's explain it.
