Sounds like the dip tube and gas tube got reversed when it was rebuilt, or the tube is missing its oring. But then you would have gas comming out the faucet (not "nothing") and would hear bubbling from c02 going in through the dip tube.

If there is "nothing" comming out not even gas.

  • Clogged dip tube
  • Clogged nipple valve
  • Bad ball / pin lock (not depressing nipple valve)

How to fix, if ball lock

  1. Make sure gas (white) goes to nipple labled "in" and (black) goes to nipple labeled "out". White locks fit both in and out nipples, black only fits out.
  2. Remove ball locks.
  3. Release all pressure
  4. Sanitize top of keg and remove the out nipple. Remove the tube make sure it's the long one, clean and clear.
  5. Inspect the nipple valve, by plugging in into a disconnected black ball lock and run it under water, it should flow easily.
  6. Sanitize and reassemble.

Or it could be you broke the tap. If it's not a perlick, the ball lever may have broke. Allowing handle movment but not opening the slide valve.
