Need a little more info and I can help further. What radio are you using and what channel is your smoke on?

I ran into that problem when I tried smoke. I decided it was the muffler back pressurizing the pump and tank causing the pump to lose its prime. I think I fixed it by installing a check valve between the muffler and the pump.
