So I hooked up 2 kegs to pressure test them. both can't get over 10psi but when I lift the release valve they let co2 out. I'm new to this so I may be overlooking something but here is what happens. I hook up the keg and turn on the gas and the needle stays around 8 or 9 psi. I use a spray bottle and spray the top of the kegs and I can't see or hear any bubbles. when I turn off the gas, both the gauges stay where they are, the keg at around 8 or 9 and the tank at about 52 or so. I have to release the pressure from the release valve on the keg to make both of the gauges go back down to 0. If i leave the pressure in the keg and shut off the gas then remove the hose from the keg, the gauges still stay where they are until I hook it back up and release the pressure from the keg.
So it there something wrong with the regulator? is there something I need to do with the flathead screw/spring on the regulator or should I leave that alone? Also, there is another valve on the regulator, looks like a small ball valve, maybe? I move that around and I can hear the pressure from the tank shutting off and coming back on so I leave it in the "on" position.
