Guess apart it comes again .
A bubble mix is what you should get. That is Colemans instant light system. You only get solid fuel stream when the valve is all the way open. Sometimes the inlet hole in the pickup tube is compromised on lanterns that have not been run in a while. Preheating will prevent a flameout if it suddenly decides to work when the valve is fully open. Put it back together and this time preheat the generator with a small torch until red hot or close to it. If you have bubbles and a new gen. you should have flames.
