When the beer comes out of the faucet foamy, the flow is perceived as a fast flow. When it began to clear, I assume you determined that the flow was fine.
First, calibrate your thermometer so that you can be absolutely certain you are working with the right temperature. Second, cool the tower. Third, if you begin to pour foam into your glass - STOP! Dump and start over. Keep doing this until your beer clears. You need to realize that it is physically impossible to pour clear beer on top of foam in a glass. And remember, the faucet only has two positions - opened or closed. Halfway and you are done.
Last, stop screwing with your beer line and pressure. This is not voodoo, magic nor will twitching your nose help you. Dispensing draught beer is based on physics. Pure and simple. It is universal and if you do not apply the right PSIG based on the temperature (constant from the keg to the faucet), elevation or beer type, it will not perform any in Timbuktu then it would at your home.
