Gary doesn't look like anyone gave you any hints on the use of a spool gun with AL. Hold it about 15 degrees and push it never pull a spool gun with Al. in it.

Nice welder I have a MM251 with a spool gun, I haven't used my tig with high freak sense I got the gun.

Absolutely, I should have bought a spool gun years ago. Tig is like juggling, Mig is more like "point and shoot". Migging aluminum is no different than migging steel except the cleaning part is a little fussier with aluminum.

If you have an android phone, miller has an app for weld settings... I love it. Gives a very good starting point for initial settings.
