I have a Smash in a converted pin lock and since it's been carbed, i've had this same problem. When it was first kegged and carbed I was still using picnic taps and opening the door, now however i have installed Perlicks and have completely switched over to 5 ' -3/16" beerline & 3/16" shanks. The problem has been the same all the way through. So here's the problem, when i either pushed the picnic tap or now pull the tap handle i get alittle bit of beer @ the correct pour and then it seems to ramp up and i get the rest it seems at a higher pressure or something. So i can get a 1/2 glass of beer and then the rest will be foam.
I have 2 other ball lock kegs that's haven't been a problem. I'm running 10 - 12psi @ the regulator into the fridge and into a distribution block. Beerlines are 3/16" and 5 ' long. the lines do dip down in the fridge and then back up the shanks on the door, i don't have the wrapped up or anything.
I'm not blaming the converted keg but at this point i'm kinda stumped.
