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!
Wow Mike you are lucky it didn't do damage with the smoke unit in backwards. Weird it was backwards. I guess it was assembled on a Friday. Good catch though. Looks like you are smoking well now but as Rich Melvin would say "Diesels aren't supposed to smoke unless they aren't working properly" or to some effect to that. LOL! Personally I like smoking diesels for about 5 minutes and then I ramp the units down or off. Enjoy! Always good to hear a success story.
