Sticking Mantles.

Hey Pony,
that happens sometimes. Try to arrange the wrinkles uniform around the burner.
I think you had only removed them from the mantle befort, when it shriks it follow the olf shape again. -
I observed that most often the mantle bends to the side where the tie knot is. Check that

That's no good idea in this case
Wrap the wrinkles away from the generator tube, so the mantle will be "pulled" away from the tube after first burning.
see the drawing belowGruß Jo

Thanks for the drawing Lichtgestalt, helped me too a lot

In some cases it might be necessary to bend the mixing tube (widen the u-shape) so that the burner is further away from the generator.
I had that problem on a 150cp model.
