I'm getting exactly the same problem with a kegerator conversion, & found this thread searching for an answer... I've got a corney keg on a 5' beer line, 3-and-some-odd-inch shank going to a door dispenser. 38 deg F on a calibrated thermometer, 13 - 13.5 psi on the regulator.
My keg is mounted high in relation to the faucet; the faucet is about 10" above the top of the keg. My pours fill half a pint glass with foam, & the rest is clear beer. Pitcher pours are about the same, 50% foam, 50% beer. I think I've got the pouring method down, I've poured a lot of beer... The 5' of beer line isn't exactly straight to the faucet, but I've tried to eliminate traps and move the beer line around & it doesn't seem to have any effect.
P.S., the beer is Sam Adams Boston Lager. I prefer it a bit colder than 38, but as of yet the fridge hasn't gotten much colder. (settings 1 - 5, highest being coldest, 3.5 - 5 results in 38 deg F).
