I found this discussion which didn't offer much advice and a couple other pertinent discussions but no answer. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f35/over-pressurised-keg-regulator-336724/index2.html
Can I 'fix' a regulator that's stuck open? I remember reading somewhere on here, before I had kegging equipment, about how someone got a regulator that was stuck open like this to work. Something about taking it off and knocking it a certain way to get a pin inside to loosen or some such ... it's been years.
My setup is a dual regulator from keg connection. This particular regulator has always been goofy and I think it was doing this same thing a while back just before my recent brewing hiatus. I've got the screw screwed all the way out as in zero-pressure adjustment, have released the line pressure and the release valve. The guage shoots up to about 40 psi then gradually climbs till it pegs out and the release valve is quietly hissing.
HELP?!?!
Thanks,
Phillip
