Tiger II engine deck smells like burning?

Post by Plumbguy »

I've just ran my HL Tiger II for the first time in a while and after I turned it off I smelt burning once I smelt the engine deck? I hope it's nothing serious
I LOVE my HL Tiger I and Tiger II

Hi
Sorry about that brain misfuction there :crazy: . It could be the RX18 the best way to check is to remove the top hull switch on and watch and smell if it is the RX unplug. If it has got to that stage it might be burnt out. Also check all the wires to make sure there is no shorts. Hopes this helps. Brian...

NO SOAP AND WATER! Go to the auto parts store and find electrical contact cleaner it works very well.
