regulator bad?

[fakr]

not sure what's going on with my regulator.  I set the pressure going to the keg to 15psi, hooked it up, and it quickly pressurized the keg to 15 and stopped...as expected.

Leave it be for a couple of hours and the pressure shows 25+psi.

I thought things were good last night having the CO2 attached to the keg at 15 psi, and today it was up over 40psi...what's going on?  Regulator toast?

I remember this happening to me a couple of months ago when I hit a fresh keg with 30psi.  I went to hook it back up a couple of days later and couldn't get the regulator to sit at a constant psi until I frigged with it a bit...I forget what I did though.

when I detatch the CO2 line from the keg, immediately the regulator starts climbing.  I've even unscrewed the adjustment knob all the way out, and released all the pressure from the line and it would still climb...frustrating...

nice...I think it's bad.  I turn the tank off, and the tank pressure bleeds off into the keg within a minute, regardless of the regulator adjustment knob position...

Yeah sounds pretty screwy.

yeah, replace that one
