I'm new to the forum and I've done as much searching as I can but don't seem to find a similar problem.

I have a slim line keg of Sam Adams hooked up...first key using a very old perlick tap. It seems to tap ok and my CO2 reads about 12 PSI. When I open the handle I get VERY little beer but a lot of CO2. It's almost like the CO2 is not going into the keg and is coming right back out the spout.

Do you think the tap could be bad? I took it apart and gave it a good cleaning. Seems pretty simple so I don't think I put it back together wrong. The lines are all new som I'm sure there is no blockages.

Keg is not frozen...inside temp is about 36.

Thanks for any help
