I have this 3 gauge regulator from Kegconnection

http://stores.kegconnection.com/Detail.bok?no=475

I've had it for about a year. The first line closest to the Co2 tank works fine up past 30psi and can force carb.

The second line, which has a tbar that i run 3 lines off of, wont go above 10-12 psi.

I went to carb 2 kegs tonight and planned on using that line. however it just wont go. I have a newly filled tank so I have plenty of gas.

I recently cleaned it, as some beer may have gotten past my check valve. however i used warm soapy water and let it dry for a few days.

Anyone had an issue like this?
 
I have the same regulator. It was fine for 6 months and started having problems. One side would pressure to whatever you needed, the other would not. The biggest problem for me was that it would take a full turn to raise the psi by one pound, but when I checked it later, it gained 8 or 10 pounds.It would never decrease psi by turning the pressure down, you always had to use the relief valve. After messing with it for long enough, I ordered a new double reg. from NB and it works perfectly so far. I asked the guy at the LHBS about them and he said that this Chudlow reg. is an economy unit at about $80 and can be problematic, the next step up would run about $130.
