Just landed on a jobsite in Iowa. I am AWS certified stick. First trip off site to the boneyard and it is "all" flux core mig and I am clueless. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

All wire manufactures will give you welding permitters for the particular wire you are running. Find out the type of wire and size wire and do an Internet search.
