Reply to "Lionel 6-18043 Hudson "yellow belly" smoke unit has no wicking and removing Pullmor motor stumps me"

Before you get too far, you are going to have to unsolder some wires. Especially the field wire on the brushplate lug after you remove the motor. The motor looks clean, so I don't think it needs to me messed with. Just some oil on the rear bearing.                     The smoke unit could stand some improvement. Wrap one turn of smoke wicking around the sleeveless resistor and pack the rest in the fluid chamber to wick up the smoke fluid, careful not to block the air ports. I would also increase the diameter of the hole in the cover with a slightly larger drill bit, that will also help get more smoke out, the small port is too restrictive.
