    If it's blowing out smoke blow air up the exhaust from the emergency glad hand. I had to get mine going a few times like that before I could get it to a shop.

    first off, the exhaust only gets clocked if there is a low spot where water can collect and ice up (inpropper install)

    Secondly, mine turned out to just be flodded. For one reason or another the flame went out and it couldn't recover on its own. Disconnected the hoses from pump. Ran it 3 times. (each time it tries to start 3 times, so 9 start attempts. ) Then i hooked it back up with no fuel in lines. after 2 times turning the know and 4 or 5 attempts it fired up and is as good as new.
