hi all.finally managed to get hold of a cheap bottle of co2 for my welder.(thanks to brnomauser). i have hooked it up ready,but when i turn the bottle on,i get a leak out of a little valve thing on the side of the reg.
if the pics came out ok,its coming out of the nut shaped bit over the green bit.when i pull the trigger on the torch,i get gas out of the nozzle,and it stops leaking out of the nut bit.but when i release the trigger it starts leaking again.does anybody know if this is because ive done something wrong? or more likely the regulator is no good? i have no idea how old it is,as it came fitted to the welder when i bought it.
thanks in advance
