Got it to seal after removing to clean up and reinstalling. Thanks.

Don't forget to open the Oxygen valve (on the tank) all the way when using
the torch. It has a double seat; so when it is open fully, there is no gas
pressure on the stem packing.

Oxygen all the way to the stop.
Acetylene no more than necessary.
