Yep big head low fiz
I think they are 5mm lines I have not measured them but they came in a copper tun kit and the LHBS gave me some .
I carbed the keg by 38psi for 24 hours then 10psi for a few days
I have just noticed that there is a slight leak out of the ball connect could this cause the problem? I will have to tighten the clamp ( probably change to a better clamp)
I need to get more beer line anyway so would 6mm be better or stick with 5mm
I'd stick with the 5mm max. The bigger the beer line just means the more you need to slow the beer down before it hits the tap. I personally go with 4mm line. You have to stick it in boiling water to get it onto the fitting but use less line.
 
Ok got it sorted, my regulator was the problem, the guage was reading 2psi and I think it was more like 20psi, changed the regulator set to 10psi pouring beautifully.
