Well guys, the SD40-2 literally smokes like a poor serviced freight train!!! I added fluid straight into the batting while it was apart. Around 20 healthy drops. As soon as the track power came up I got a constant and healthy smoke! The problem now is the motor is so noisy. I lubed it to no avail in quieting it down, so I ordered a replacement motor to see if it quiets things down. Thank you all for your help! Also John, I looked up that smoke dropper you mentioned, I've got one coming as it looks to be the ticket to properly filing the engine without disassembly! Case closed on this one!
