Smell of burning rubber at idle

[Josh172]

Hello

I have a ph2 172. I started it up this morning and left it running for a several minutes and I could smell a faint smell of burning rubber which I think is coming from the belt area?
Any help please

Does the aux belt look like its rubbing?

 

[Josh172]

I tried to have a look couldn't really see anywhere that was rubbing I will need to have a closer look thanks tho

Count the bent valves..

I'm fairly local and can do the work next week (I'm fully booked this week)

 

[Josh172]

If it is the valves how much would that be to fix?

 

[Dan@SJM]

Does it still run? If so the valves aren't bent.

Though I advise you don't run it until its been investigated properly.

 

[Josh172]

Yes it still runs. Idle is smoothish slightly lumpy and when it is cold has a small ticking if that makes sense. I have renewed the insurance on it. So hasn't been on a road for a month. The only thing I have done recently is replaced all the engine mounts as the old ones were worn

 

[Dan@SJM]

I advise having it looked at, burning rubber and ticking could be a fraying aux belt which can fail and interfere with the cambelt.

 

[Josh172]

Thanks for the advice mate I be sure to get it checked out. That will be something else added to the list

 

[Dan@SJM]

I'm fairly local if your looking for a specialist.
