    I have a Smith Jewelers torch.Oxy/Acy Oxy true handpiece (One tank
    One regulaor type). After 30 yrs of use. and adding a new tank. I
    have trouble getting a sharp blue flame. The Gas just pours out and
    doesn't seem to mix at all. I have opened it up slowely and to
    various pressures. I have had my hand piece serviced and the
    regularor serviced by a tech. torch specialist in Portland Or. I
    sent each piece to be repaired alternately after having this problem
    2 months ago.I had repairs done through Air Gas a local dealer I use
    for Fuel cell refills. I hooked everything up yesterday after 6
    weeks of repair down time and I still have the same problem.. The Oxy
    does't seem to be feeding into the flame I still can not get a a
    sharp blue controlable flame. Any suggestions? I have a little torch
    and am using it for everthing.. in the meantime. can anyone trouble
    shoot,or have any suggestions? Please ? Thanks, B.K. 

    p.s. I teach Jewelry working every weekend I need my second torch for
    backup.. for larger sheet projects such as belt buckles, Sweat
    soldering etc..
