Sometime I vary the set up depending what and where I am welding, but I am using a 120V Lincoln (20 years old?) with gas, typically on B with the 19 gauge steel( A B C D ) at a wire speed set between 4 and 5. I think the gas pressure is 20? (not sure as I haven't changed it for years) also, I use 023 wire

When I welded in the seat plate (secure rear seat bolts) I upped it to C level heat, as the plate is 16 gauge.

I am NOT a good welder, so please do not take my settings as correct.

What I have found with sheet metal is that I do not run a bead. I just use a series of tacks to create a weld that looks like a bead.

Hope this helps
