I seem to have a clog somewhere in my keg/beer line/faucet that I can't seem to find. Beer comes out at a steady trickle but is mostly foam. The keg is about half kicked. I checked everywhere I could think of, ball lock post, poppet, liquid out connect, faucet. I've checked as far up the beer line as I can (it's a tower) and can't find anything. Is there somewhere I'm forgetting to check??
 
Might not be a clog. Might be the out post poppet isn't playing nice with the beer disconnect plunger, and one of them isn't opening much.

As an experiment you could disconnect the gas line, latch the keg PRV open, remove the out post, take out the poppet, and screw the post back in place.

Then remove the back screw cap from the beer disconnect, take out the spring and plunger, then screw the cap back in place (don't forget the thin O-ring!) and attach the disconnect to the out post.

Then connect the gas and turn it on, and test the pour...

Cheers!
