Default Smoke Question

Just installed the Artes Jet smoke kit on my F-16. The problem is that it will only start pumping when almost idle. Once it starts you can give it full throttle and it smokes. If I such the pump off and on again the pressure of the pipe (I believe this is happening) won't let the fluid out of the smoke nozzles.

Can anyone help here? Is the pressure of the engine keeping the pump from pumping out fluid at anything other than idle upon startup? Like I said once it gets going it works fine. its just when I try to turn it off and on again that it wont come back on until I idle it down. Strange.
