wadd55,

Let me add this. Most conventional regulators are relieving types. There is usually a hole in the body below the diaphragm that exits to atmosphere. If this is where it's leaking, cycle the regulator several times from 0 to 120 or whatever its limits are. This might cure the problem.

If the bowls have O-rings sealing them, make sure they aren't crimped or mashed and that the bowl is on tight and seated.

I have found that most of the time the Harbor Freight stuff is assembled poorly (from the factory) and this is the root of most
of the problems.
