      Don,

  Usually adding pressure will create more foam. It's been years since I've 
had to work on a system. My preveyors provied cleaning. If memory serves me 
correctly the formula for draft beer pressure is: 7 lbs. of pressure for the 
head, and 1 lb. of pressure for every foot of 3/8 inch horizontal tubing, 
twice that for every foot of vertical climb.
