    Harris - nice torch - best there is. I've had mine over 30 years.



    I would think anywhere from 4 to 6 psi any higher your torch will flame out or be impossible to light unless your turning on a wee bit of oxygen to assist with ignition on windy days.

    I'm using an adjustable propane regulator without a gauge on my tank.

    How much propane are you using per bottle of oxygen. I assume that your using the small or medium oxygen bottle.

    You may have a blown diaphragm in the regulator or a leaky connection, but I'm sure that you have already checked the obvious.
