Ed, first question....
Did you remember to switch the polarity of your welder when you changed over to the gas/solid wire? The gun should connected to the + terminal, and the ground clamp to - terminal. Just the opposite of flux core welding.
Can you list the settings you are using?
1/8" steel, yes?
Wire size?
Gas flow?
Voltage setting?
Wire feed?
Stick out length?
Best to start with the basics.
