I have a new kegerator, but the same regulator (two separate lines for two different pressures if wanted) as before. I kegged two beers yetsreday, and i know its only been 18 hours and have some concernt

Keg 1. The big concernt. Not too cold when i put the gas line in, and put at 30 psi. It poured ok from the moment it was tapped. At 12 hours there was a little sign of carb, so I let off al the pressure, put back to 30 psai, disconnect and shook it for a while. Now, i cant get anything to pour out. I have disonnected the liquid line many times, cleaned it, reassembled it...etc. it starts to draw some liquid but then just stops. Any ideas? Oh...when i disconnect the gas i see bubbles on the lid, when I put it back on gas it seems to seat the lid and they go away. Testing with quirt bottle of starsn

Keg 2. This guys was also kind of warm, put at 30 psi, and thats it. I did notice some bubling on the lid so put a new one on and no more bubbles. At 18 hours its seem to have done 0 carb. Was going to knock down to 12 at 24 hours. Maybe just gonna be a few days after that?
 
Must be a clogged dip tub or poppet now that i hink aobut it, right? keg 1 wont dispense off gas or on gas of either line. I hear gas go in fine. I have the right socket wrench for the pinlock, but never done it. Any advice on how to clean get this unclogged?
 
**UPDATE*** Well, i racked to a sanitized better bottle, quickly cleaned the keg and dip tube and poppet. tube and poppet were clogged...there was very little hop residue in the bottom though. Got it back on gas at 13 psi. And....while there was some oxygen, it will be awesome...
