    Try putting the washer between the spirit up and riser tube. Should square things up.

    hi thanks for the reply I think I tried that already if you mean put the washer on the tube then put spirt cup then burner it was worse it works fine with just the washer on the tube then the burner I would think I could open up the spirt cup hole enough to fit up the tube to the connection so as it sits just under connection

    You need 2 washers, one above and one below the spirt cup.
