Then you are putting out more than 60Amps. When you say 60 Amps are you talking about the Primary (power in) or the secondary (out put) circut.

Rule of thumb is .001" of filler OD = 1 Amp so 3/32" rod needs around 90 Amps. Thats not an exact figure just a starting point.

What kind of Amp selection do you have on the machine?

the machine has no settings just says 60 amps its just a cheap 100 dollar machine made by lincoln

Say a model number, if it's a constant voltage supply the amps would go out of sight if you tried to stick weld with it.

This may be a dumb question - but are you sure this is a stick welder? With the exception of invertec tig/stick welders (pretty high end machines) all the Lincoln stick welders I know about are 220v.

Is it possible you have a small MIG welder? They have two knobs - one for wire feed and one for amps.

Thats a link to a seller that has some description and recommendations for rods. They call it a 50 amp machine limited to 14 ga and thinner. http://www.lincolnelectric.com/
Lincoln's site, has some hits if you do site search (you can get a part's list). Product search produced nothing.

This is a machine of very limited ability. You will have to try different rods until you find something that works and then stick with that.

Sorry I can't be more help.
