Decals!

where on-line could I find a site that shows you how to set the temp, wire speed, and such for a MIG welder?

I have looked and could not find any

I'M BACK

I know you said online, but at homedepot there is a welding handbook that I found to be really helpful. And it's only 15 dollars

I'll look for some online sites too

also, with mig there is no set rule of what wire speed and what settings, its all personal preferance and varies with the welding machine, the welders style etc.
