On my 211, I've had a problem with gas escaping back into the machine rather than arriving at the 'business end' of the torch.
Recently, it's got worse, to the extent that even with the regulator cranked right up and showing almost 30 l/min on the gauge, the gas flow tester registers 'zero' delivery at the torch.
The ball does lift off the base as the trigger is pulled, then drops back down immediately...
Is it new torch time, or could it be something as simple as a seal that's gone awol?
edit: I've blown through the torch with compressed air, had a look at the connections, but without a parts list/exploded diagram, it's impossible to determine if anything's not as it should be.
