Imig200 flux core welding questions

[zoama]

Alway drag (pull) flux core, and push with MIG.

What's the reason behind it ?

I only have the regular drive rollers and I've adjusted the feed rate and it feeds fine. I still get a black nasty weld... It's a good solid weld that you couldn't break, but it seems like the weld is contaminated because the weld bead is all black. If I have time tomorrow I will run a bead on some super clean metal and possibly shoot a video. I'm not the greatest MIG welder with the limited experience I have but I know that it could look alot better than it does.

Are you cleaning off the flux and slag from your weld? Sometimes it can be tough to get off. Have a look at this for some good overall advice for flux core.
