Wire Feed question

admin

Hi all- New to welding so I borrowed a friends Mighty Mig 101, 85 max amps, 110V with low hours on it. The wire feed speed control isn't working(fuse is good) and from what I've read that controls the amps and power settings control the volts(?). Amps will give me the heat needed for good penetration? Wire comes out very fast and I can't really get any pen at max settings. I'm trying to weld some 1/8" plate to 1/16" square stock. I can pull off most welds with a pair of vise-grips. Is wire feed being to fast my problem? Plugged unit into 110V, 20 amp circuit. TIA for replies-
