I checked with my local welding supply shop today. The fellow there said he could check the regulator with soapy water and see if it leaks. I am pretty sure it does, however it would be nice to know for sure. I think I may have lost some acetylene due to the leak. He said it was $70 to get the regulator repaired. The concern I have is, this is the third time I have had problem with the USA made acetylene regulator. The oxygen regulator has never had a problem.
