This was my first attempt with the handler and flux core wire. It seemed to weld OK but the tip kept shorting against the wire from the spatter. Is there a "flux core" tip for the gun, or do I just need to learn how to keep the spatter off the tips by adjusting the heat?

Here is a fluxcore tip...the machine has built-in protection against shorting...you are probably getting spatter build up in the nozzle...this eliminates that.

Thanks Rocky.
It appears that is a standard contact tip and your sleeve just protects the gas outlet area. Thanks again.

I find that when I am getting a ton of BB's sticking to the contact tip, I am just holding too short of an arc. Remember, flux core wants a little more space between the work and tip. For .030 thru .045, at least a half inch of stickout. For 1/16, the stickout should be at least 3/4 of an inch. Took me awhile to get used to running the bigger stuff. Looked like I was a mile away from the work.:rolleyes::D
The welds look better than ok to me.;)

Flux core nozzle part number is 226190 if needed.

Is that the same nozzle part number for the Ironman 250 mig gun? (M 25)

The M25 gun uses a different size nozzle.
The old Miller part number is 213 078, but according to my LWS who called Miller for me it is no longer available.

No, that nozzle (226190) only fits the H9, H10, H14, M10, & M15 guns.

What flux core nozzle fits the ironman 250 with a m-25 gun?

It looks like the tip hole is quite a bit larger in diameter than your wire. Is that so it doesn't stick?

No, that is just normal wear....when it gets too bad I will change it...it's getting close to that point, as you can see. If I had used a knurled drive roll...the won't would last near this long...they cut up a tip quick.
