    Clutch slave number two.

    OMG looks very Yamaha ish to me. Some time ago I fought the good fight trying to get an XS650 clutch that worked well. In the end I went hydraulic like you, but somewhat differently. I have pictures I could post if your interested but I don't want to high jack your thread.

    It's a set of valves that go between the regulators and the torch. It has a lever to hang up the torch. the lever closes the valves. It also has a pilot light. When you need to pause welding and hang up torch it shuts off. When you restart just pick up the torch and pass it by the pilot light...

    Service for Oxy/Ac gas saver.

    I scored an Oxy/Acetylene gas saver. It's appears to be complete and in decent condition. It is quite old and pretty dirty. Can anyone recommend an individual or shop in the Calgary area to clean and service it before I hook it up?
