I Just waxed the chrome which included the chrome covers on the engine. If I had forgot some of the wax, would it give off a smell when it got hot? The second time, it didn't seem to smell as bad. I checked the oil, it is at the correct level. It does not smell like any wiring, or oil, I know what that smells like. If the belt is rubbing on the front sprocket, would that be a possibility? It runs great as it always has, and there are no odd noises.
Any suggestions?
What's Greg's std comment.... "what did you do last" ..... "I Just waxed the chrome "....
hey.... isn't the exhaust pipe chrome? Doesn't it get hot enough to melt plastic
..... hmmmmmmm
