    I have change the jet/tip on my P 76, de coced the vaporiser and cleand most other parts. But no nice blue flame, just some large ones. To much air or fuel? Not hot or what? Suggestions are wellcome.

    Hej @tretrop
    clean the inner parts of the tubes and the burner, maybe sth. is blocked.
    Does the stove has a wick? Take a look at it and if necessary change it.

    Ciao, Bastian

    From the picture it seems there to less pressure. Maybe there are some leakages at the spindle nut or the burner?

    I guess there was some loose dirt somewhere that now partially blocks the jet - have you checked the hole in the jet, sometimes new ones have poor holes.
