Default 100% Foam... I am out of ideas. Please help.

Hello all,

I am flat out of ideas. Please help.

I installed a door-conversion kegerator kit approximately 4 months ago. Ran 3 kegs through it with ZERO problems.

Recently my roomates had a party at my house while I was at work. During this party the keg was replaced. Also apparently, during this party, the CO2 bottle and regulator were dropped. I say apparently, because, after questioning many people as to WHY my kegerator no longer worked no one had any idea. I discovered a week later that the C02 line pressure needle was STUCK because the dial (where the numbers are) had somehow been bent. I took off the cover and re-bent it back to its original state.

Now, my keg pours 100% FOAM. Not even 0.00001 OZ beer. It also flows very fast. I adjust the C02 pressure to 0 PSI (the regulator screw STOPS). It continues to flow fast and completely foam. I adjust it anywhere from 0 - 20 PSI with the same result.

An internal thermometor shows an average temperature of 40 degrees, however, my external thermostat is set on 36 degrees.

I just cleaned the lines and this didnt help. I've relieved the pressure on the keg (twice), let it set for 30 minutes, and then repressurized the keg. Still 100% foam.

At this point I dont know what else to do. Please help.
