bad o2 reg.

Diaphragm needs replacing. Take it to the shop...this needs to be done correctly.

sounds like diaphram is faulty ?

Hi:

That's and easy fix and you can do it yourself, call your local welding store like praxair www.praxairdirect.com and give them the brand and model of the torch and they will SHIP direct to you the right part. Check the link here.

usually I have just changed to the appropriate brand of propane tip for that style torch IE: if you use a victor torch take out the acetylene tip and replace it with a propane one making certaing the seats are correct.

take it to the nearest weld shop, its defective, gages, do one thing, keep pressure where you put it, there is a spring inside and it can get weak by leaving it turned in,
please, take it to a shop, before it fails.

Sears or most any local welding supply.

sounds like your needle valves are worn or damaged,also change allthe q rings in same valves

the gauge needs rebuilding the diafram is leaking inside

I have worked on similar machines so I hope this helps. At the tailstock side, there is a bearing block that supports the leadscrew etc. Remove any taper pins and bolts that hold the block in possition. Now the shafts should only be supported by the headstock and apron. Turn the apron away from the headstock (using the feed handle). The shafts are usually keyed on splined into the head (dont force it). Once the shafts pull free from the head you can turn the leadscrew out by hand and slide out the power shaft etc. The apron should then either be able to roll off the tailstock end (remove any stoppers) or be lifted upwards (remove any guides or stoppers).

I will sell exterior parts only,I do sell internal regulator parts but only to certified technicians that have the test equip and can re-certify the gauges after a re-build
