    any correlation between a poppet that leaks when the disconnect is not engaged and beer foaming or are they completely unrelated? Thanks! Other tap is pouring fine under otherwise same conditions.

    I haven't had that issue before with a slightly leaky poppet. Have you tried a little Vaseline on the post/poppet to help with that? I usually get less of a leak by using a little "generic keg lube".

    Haven't tried that yet, will see what I get home It does seem as though it could be a pocket of air somewhere, didn't know if the poppet was the problem.
