Smoke system, what am I doing wrong?
OK, this is my problem here. I have a super chipmunk powered by an OS fs 91. I have been trying to get a smoke system going, but the results are not what I was hoping for.
I have a 6oz tank with 3 lines...one for pick up, one for pressure, one for filling.
I did wrap a copper tube around the header, 6 turns around the header, this provides plenty of heat.
Use neoprene lines. On the muffler, I have another pressure fitting for the smoke fluid tank.
I did put a restrictor that can be adjusted and a device to pinch the line to shut off smoke fluid with a servo.
The smoke fluid I use is Super DRi. I know it works as I tried it directly from a furl bulb to the preheater coil..Lots of dense smoke at all RPM range...lots of mess on the ground also.
When the system is hooked, I have very poor result, more like a rich mixture, but it is also messy.
All the tests were done with plane tethered to the ground
I have heat, I have pressure, but no smoke, well very fainted smoke, and mostly at lower rpm.
I does not seem to make a difference between restriction or not
WHAT DID I DO WRONG?
any body can help me here?
