??? not sure why a evolution would have a smoke unit in it , but anyways its possible that trains were shipped with only a small amount of smoke fluid in them (makes shipping less messy) a bottle of smoke fluid and a few drops of this wonderful stuff is all you should need to get your engine smoking again
I have a 2012 dodge ram 1500, I am wanting to raise it 2 inches with a leveling kit, I will need to readjust the fog lams and headlights, I know how to do the headlamps but need to know how to do the fogs lamps?
Thanks
Check that you have added the smoke fluid (oil) to the engine and that it has not run dry. The smoke from the engine is generated by a small chamber with a heating element built in. The heating element gets hot as the loco runs and heats the smoke fluid up which in turn creates the steam/smoke. If there is no fluid the heating element can over heat and will smell as you describe. Not sure if your model has a smoke effect on/off switch, if it has switch it off if you do require the smoke effect.
Yes, you do just drop the pellet in... But if there is any kind of crud built up in the smoke stack, it may not allow the pellet to seat on the heating element. Thus the tamper is included to allow you to push the pellet all the way down. If you don't have one, a piece of wooden dowel the right diameter can be used.
Most Lionel engines have a small slider switch which can turn off the smoke generator. Check to see that the switch is in the ON position. Check the engine manual (available from Lionel's website) for the location of the switch.
Also, if the smoke generator is always on and no fluid had been used in the generator, it will eventually burn out. Replacement smoke generators are available from Lionel.
take off the front panel where the nozzle comes out... to do this, unscrew 2 screws on top, 2 on bottom and 4 on each side, then carefully remove the covering for the nozzle.. if your facing it, to the right of it, is a black little nipple button thats tripped.. press that in and it should click... if it does, run the fog machine with the panel off to make sure you fixed it... if it works, put it back on, if not, try again, and if still not go to chauvetlighting.com and contact them... i had this same problem for a couple months... they called me yesterday and told me to do this.. but make sure it has a full tank of fluid.. i didnt have a whole lot in and i think i messed it up more....);
You may have to check if there is power to the heating element. You can also check to see if there is too much fluid. You can also put the engine in neutral and tap the chimney hole a few time to kind of "prime" the smoke unit.
