So after some more time with the rig, I've narrowed issue #1 down to a vibration / chatter/ rattle coming from the Oxygen flashback arrestors, both torch and regulator mount, even before the flame is lit. It is a big admittance that I'm brand new at oxyacetylene, and its applications! I've learned a lot from the community here. I've read a ton of the resources Kent at TM has provided, and am learning the basics with a medium duty Smith welding outfit before I employ the Meco kit. I dont see the two issues I'm seeing addressed much (arrestor chatter and acetylene regulator "sticking"), so could it be faults with the equipment, or pretty normal?
