Question Two Faucet Tower Problem

ok I have a 2 faucet tower basically what the problem is one faucet pours perfect and the other faucet pours half foam, we have it narrowed down to the house/faucet, we used the same coupler and same c02 just switched the line, the line that is half foam is not kinked in any way the lines are exactly the same length and it's all in the same freezer so same temp and everything, we tried switching the faucets but it seems to be the one side only so I guess we narrowed it down to that one faucet/shank and hose, any suggestions? could it be the fact that the keg in question is closer to the faucet that is doing the good pour then the other? I'm not a newbie so this seems illogical but if someone can please help me out that would be nice

thanks

also anyways questions just ask and I'll get back shortly

if you switched the faucets and the problem didn't move, switch the lines at the shanks now. if the problem switched sides it's not the shank.

then you swap the lines at the couplers. if the problem didn't switch sides, check your line on the problem side.

if the problem changed sides when you swapped lines at the coupler, check the coupler on the problem side.

the last thing to check would be switching the couplers at the kegs. if the problem moves it's your coupler. if the problem doesn't move, i would guess its the keg.

hope this isn't too confusing.

Definately check the keg. Look inside where you tap the keg and make sure that rubber ring is intact and there are no chips in it. If there are this can cause gas to mix with the beer at the wrong spot and foam. Good luck.
