my oxy-acet kit has a regulator that i think may have a fault.... on
turning on the gas, the regulator winds round till it hits the stop....if
i turn on the nozzle it falls back to the pressure its been set at. is
this a fault? can it be repaired?

I always slacken the regulator fully off on shutdown, when starting I open
the bottle, and torch tap, then turn up the regulator to the right sort of
pressure.

it sounds like your reg. is defunct, they are dismantleable, but for the
danger aspect I have to recommend getting a new one.
