I have 3 of the 4 tap systems but only one line foams. I've checked every line but cannot figure out what would cause this. Any suggestions?

What beers are you pouring ? Different CO2 volumes may cause different pour rates. In a single regulator system, higher CO2 beers like lights and some wheats will foam while lower CO2 beers will pour properly.

I'VE RUN 3 DIFFERENT TYPES OF BEER THROUGH THE LINES AND ALL OF THEM COME UP THE SAM. iS IT POSSIBLE THAT THE GLYCOL LINE IS TOUCHING THIS PARTICULAR LINE AND FREEZING IT?

I would check the dispense temperature of all 4, if there is a major difference between them,then temp is your problem. What temp is your glycol and is it cold enough to freeze your beer ? 26 degrees. Check for a kink in the line at the coupler and at the shank, that could cause the problem. Swap a coupler from a good pouring one with the foamy one and see if that makes a difference. Try to isolate the component that is bad and correct it from there.
