help with foam

[kblt82]

Need some help with a foam issue. keg temp 36-38 according to smart strip, freshly clean system before keg was tapped, co2 at 12psi. Everything should be great but cannot get more than 1/2 of a glass before goes to complete foam...any ideas, never had this trouble until the last cleaning, the keg did raise in temp to about 48 sitting in my truck while i cleaned could that have destroyed it??? Taste is fine but man it takes a long time to get a full cup, also for some reason the flow of beer is very slow compared to the last kegs, could i have put something back together wrong after cleaning to cause this? Miller lite 1/2 keg, home built kegerator from micro mat parts in garage not climate controled, but beer is right temp. HELP it is killing me trying to figure this out..Kblt82

I think i found my problem, after no response from anyone i decided to start from scratch just like my satellite work start with the basic...i broke down the shank and put it back together again and my flow rate is back almost to much but i think that is because my pres is to high. I must have pushed the ball inside the shank to far into the shank restricting the flow of the beer before. It seems to be ok now just need to adjust pressure thanks anyway.

what are you referring to when you say "shank"?
