After removing the engine from storage, add another 25 drops of fluid, letting the
wick soak up the fluid for 15 minutes prior to operation.
If you experience poor or no smoke output when the smoke unit is on and has
fluid, check the wick to see if it has become hard, blackened, and unabsorbent
around the heating element. To remove the smoke unit you will first have to
remove the body shell. To do this, follow these instructions:
1. Remove the 4 body mount screws, locate the smoke unit assemby.
2. Use a phillips head screwdriver to remove the inspection cover screws.
3. After removing the inspection cover, inspect the wick. If it is darkly discolored
and hard, it should be replaced.
Replacement parts and wick replacement instructions are available directly from
