There should be initial specs in the manual. If you don't have one, Clarke might have one online in PDF format you can copy or just read.

Here's my answer i recommended that u run at around 25 cfh and if u want as low as 20 cfh, nothing lower or u'll be risking weak welds. hope this helps ..
happy new years

| I agree with Lilrockcert -- I run right around 20 ... You can tell when you don't have enough shield pretty fast. Beware that a mig cannot stand any breeze so if you're outside it has to be pretty still. |
