i've been running both the last 2 weeks. Great engines. Smoke worked great. Whistle, stacks and blowdown. yesterday I reloaded smoke fluid per directions for the stacks on both. Initially they performed great, but after a few loops, the smoke became very anemic and even stopped puffing at very slow speed. I blew down the stacks to address the miniscud issue but still, nothing. The units are hot and air is expelled but little to no smoke. Did I goof or should I seek professional help?

Nope this engine eats smoke fluid like a kid in the candy store .. Add before you run and after you run it And when it stops smoking . 10 drops blowdown whistle and 20 in each stack ..
Yes I'm with JOJO. Gotta keep them happy and feed them.
OK, I'll try that...I was concerned that I'd put too much in but, I'll do as suggested and 'stay frosty'..... Thanks.
You were spot-on. Loaded up the stacks and they filled the room with wonderful smoke. Thanks. I was worried I overfilled and choked them. They sure do eat that fluid!
Once they are really loaded up with fluid, its takes a couple minutes to heat all the fluid up before you get max output. They will smoke you out of the room running on max output with max EFX
Thanks. I loaded them again as suggested by JoJofry and that worked.
