I started a new weld by flushing gas through and then clicked further and started welding, noise changed so I stopped and obviously no gas flowing
thought it soon for the cylinder to run out but changed to another new one bought last week and still no gas
this is the original clarke valve and it is only on its third disposable cylinder, both times I changed I seemed to have to turn the control further to get a reasonable flow until I tested a couple of days ago and was managing 3L/min when turned full on
when I removed the regulator from the bottle in use I did get a hissing noise which quickly stopped as I unscrewed further so it sounds like a blockage/faulty regulator/faulty handle valve to me
Has anyone gone through a debug process to work out which bit is likely to have failed?
