Hop-up misalignment

Hey, quick question:

Lately I've been having problems with my hop up unit in my src 416, it's a pretty small one I think.

I noticed that the hop up is being pushed right ontop of the nozzle which is causing mis-feeding, I believe that there is meant to be a little spacer to give the bb's enough room to get into the hop-up chamber or something? was wondering if anyone else have seen anything like this before in there aeg's and knew what causes it as I noticed on other airsoft boards sites its happend to all sorts of aeg's and not just this particular model?

also any ideas on a replacement spacer? i was thinking a small washer or two over the nozzle might do the trick?:pac:

Thats the way the airnozzle is supposed to be, i wouldnt mess around with it or you might find yourself needing a new tappet plate too. the missfeeding can usually be down to a hopup rubber not being installed correctly or in some cases a damaged piston.,

hmm, yeah i could see how the hopup rubber might be a bit off... Pretty sure its not the piston tho? No signs of air-seal loss or anything and when it does fire, its coming out at normal energy i think?(quick n simple rough coke can test)
