I wasn't about to put BB in subject line!! okay since second week of January I have tried getting blow down to work finally gave up until tonight.
it was either work or "else"! so Mike at lionel says use pipette load to first line for each smoke feature!
I did nada nope raised its head and laughed at me!
so added another recommended pipette fill waited and hit blow down button still nothing not even with the cover off boiler tried blowing into that hole literally. still nothing.
added yet another pipette were talking 80 drops folks this time I held the blow down button on remote down and at same time put my mouth smack over that hole and blew the living snot out of it and bam now the blow down comes out the openings by rear boiler openings.
I am a happy person now it all works finally! thanks for reading yet another BB post.
P.S. nary a drop of liquid smoke came out of those openings as the homasote was totally dry on both sides where the BB was sitting.
