I started kegging earlier this year and I have never had this problem. I just kegged a beer today, i gave it a test. My regulator showes that I am at a 8psi and I am only getting a trickle out of my faucet. I have checked my liquid dip tube and it is clear but my beer is not flowing. Any suggestion?
 
You sure you haven't run out of gas? Try releasing the pressure on the keg and see if it fills up. If you have more than one keg hooked up, make sure that one is isolated first. You don't want the pressure from the other kegs rushing to that one.
 
Check your gauge to see if it's gone off calibration. Disconnect your regulater and release all your pressure. If your gauge doesn't drop back to 0, then you're gauge is off calibration.
 
I've had the back of my small fridge freeze the beer in the line, so I have to turn the QD for liquid away from the back. At least until I place a fan inside to circulate the cold whenever the compressor kicks on...

Also, how much beer line do you use?
 
I have a couple of diptubes that are on the long side, and can sometimes get turned so that the bottom is too close to the bottom of the keg.
 
Just to let you all know I just had my post on too tight. Just loosen it up a little and beer is flowing well!! Thanks for the advise.
 
Maybe the poppet got jammed or something. Sounds kind of like the wrong type of poppet. I've had them stick DOWN before, but it can't hardly be too tight if it's the right one.
 
Yep, not such thing as a post being on too tight. My guess is it's the wrong poppet for the post.
