I need to know if there is supposed to be a gasket for the smoke bowl assembly the front half where the heating element goes?
reason I ask as I have checked to make sure the rubber gasket is in correct between the front heating element bowl and the fan assembly and I still get smoke more below the engine frame than what comes out the stack.
I do get the puffs of smoke out the stack so am thinking fan rotation not the problem? I didn't notice a gasket when I disassembled the front bowl of smoke unit lying in engine cradle at the time of reassembly.
I looked on Lionels parts site and only found smoke unit as an assembly and heating element no other parts shown on parts schematic.
can someone that has the nickel plate berkshire 765 item# 6-11212 take a look see and let me know I would surely appreciate any help on this.
if a gasket needed can do as I have done on a few warped mth units and use auto gasket silicone for gas and oil works like a champ.
