@Richie C. posted:Mike - FWIW, I now use syringe bottles like the ones shown about 12 posts down in the below thread to avoid messes and bubbles. I think I got a lifetime assortment off the big A for less than $10.

Thanks Richie, I just ordered a 5 pack for $6.. plus tax. Great idea!
Well guys I am happy to tell you that I got both engines smoking! Not happy how I had to go about it! I wish I would have taken a photo before I fixed the problem. Mind you I took everyone's advice and tried them all, last I tried Ron's idea of blowing down the smoke stack with no improvement! So I took the shell off, now mind you I bought this right from MTH, anyways when I got the shell off the smoke unit was backwords! I am lucky I didn't fry the fan motor as the first round of fluid was dropping right on top of it. I pulled it off and turned it around so the opening for the fluid was right below the smoke stack, added a little more fluid and seams to work fine now. I just wish it was a little more. Here is a video I know its hard to tell but they both are smoking!
