Critically important to have the "Perl" line up properly with the spout O-ring. It is easy to mis-adjust the faucet lever arm such that the "Perl" is too high or too low to hit the O-ring perfectly. This alignment can be visualized through the spout...
Cheers!
Now THAT makes sense. I had backed the knurled collar nut on the faucet lever off a quarter turn so that the taphandle would snug up square with the front of the kegerator. The Perl is likely misaligned with the front seal o-ring.
Is there an easy way to determine if the alignment is too high or too low? The leak is significantly less that now than before it was disassembled, so I assume my "eyeball alignment" during reassembly is closer to correct alignment.
I can't believe this didn't occur to me before. Thanks for pointing it up.
