Wally: Welcome to AllMetalshaping. I am also located in the Ocala area. Ocala address but west of Anthony.
I have to admit that MIG is my least favorite method of welding. I have difficulty seeing where I am going particularly on flat welds. Old eyes. Are you trying to run a continuous bead? If so, you might try a series of short welds giving the base metal a chance to cool a bit. If you are already doing short welds, maybe take alook at your welder settings.
There are people on this forum that are pro welders that may have further or better advise.
You might even consider a copper back plate to dissipate some of the heat.

I am in the phone book, if you want to chat.
