I just set up my new pair of stout taps, as seen here https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f11/anyone-know-best-way-clean-these-taps-323418/
Now one has a 3/16 fitting and the other is a 5/16.
No w the flow on these are terrible, one is slow, the other drips out!
I will try and explain what I have done, as I used all part s I had avalia ble saince ythe rest of my perlicks are 3/8. Hopefully I can explain in a wrritten diagram.
The first tap which just dribbles out Is set up like this...
Tap(3/16 standard fitting) - 3/16 beer line - 3/16 to 3/8 adapter - 3-8 ball lock disconnect - keg.
The second which is better but has very slow flow rate is this
Tap (5/16 standard fitting) - 5/16 to 3/16 adapter - 3/16 beer line - 3/16 to 3/8 adapter - 3/8 ball lock disconnect - keg
Any ideas? Is it the adapters killing the flow? Also when testing I'm using the same keg with same pressure which pours great from my perlicks on 3/8 beerline
