I just purchased a new kegerator, and all my beers are coming out 85% foam. I tested the keg out with a reg hand pump and the beer comes out fine with that, so it must be my beer line or co2 setup. I have a 3/16 line of 4-5 feet and the co2 no matter wat setting i have it on is causign all foam. any help would be appreciated

Hmmmm, I think you are the only one that has ever had that problem. I've never seen that question asked on this board before. Regardless, why don't you try doing a search on the subject, you might come up with some pretty good answers. ;)

Set your pressure to 10. don't worry about the first few beers being foamy. Your keg is a little shaken up right now and is settling. the more you mess with the pressure the worse it will get. Start drinking and you will notice the foam subsiding. After a while (like 10 or so beers) you can see if you want to fine tune the pressure. NO, I am not saying pour 10 beers back to back. Just start drinking like you usually would and it should work itself out. Here is a decent tutorial on foamy/wild/cloudy beer (http://www.kegworks.com/shoppingcart/customer/pages.php?pageid=31) etc.
