I am expecting a new one in a couple of days.
Back in Feb 2006 someone posted a repair "How to" for a known issue with this engine.
" There was also a problem with irratic chuffing when the smoke unit was turned on. In case you experience this problem the solution was pretty simple, just the insertion of a Radio Shack diode in the wire leading to the smoke unit. If you experience this problem the repair directions were posted on the OGR Forum back in Feb 2006."
Have not had any luck with the search engine. Either am doing something wrong or the search algorythm is limited.
The exact date was listed as OGR Forum of Feb 27, 2006.
