Got regulator from Amazon. Played with flow adjustment. Better. Watche a couple of vidios. Discovered that the gas shield on the torch tip was not adjusted properly. That helped. Vidio guy said the ground clamp on my Hobart was junk. Suggested replacing it or wraping it with braided copper wire. Did that. It helped. Still need more practice but it is working much better now. I am using Argon/Co2 mix. Also adjusted my helmet to the lightest setting. I can see better now which also helps. Regulaor was $25 from Amazon with glass sight tube with a steel ball in it. Decent quality and seems to work just fine.
