220 question for welder ?

I have a Hobart 250 beta mig, with gas running on 220 30 amp. When welding for lighter gauge steal, 17 gauge it says to turn to 4-5 but doesn't want to work,If I turn it down to 3 its works but easily burns through. Could my problem be not enough amps? I do have another out let that is a 50 amp that I will put correct plug on tomorrow.

Thanks in advance
Kirk
