I didn't notice any large cloud of smoke although at the time I was just trying to figure out how to shut it down. I had it WOT when it started. :( The video is really the second start. My camera failed to record anything for the first one. Bob W. On Wed, 25 Jan 2006 21:01:48 -0500 "John Downing" wrote: > Bob; The video came through great. The only thing I didn't see was all the smoke every one was referring to on the first start up. I was under the impression that the whole neighborhood would disappear. Mine is full of MM oil, so it could be a real polluter.
