I agree with Jere. I seem to recall having the same problem years ago and it
turned out to be a loose connection at the ballast resistor. Even if everything
looks connected, make sure firm contact is being made.

The starting issue sounds as though one of the wires to the ballast resistor
may have come disconnected. As for the steam, are you sure it was steam and
not smoke from an overheated wire in the starting circuit?

Hey guys. Again I come to drink at the well.
I live in Northern Utah and it's still pretty cold here but I pulled the Tiger
out, charged the battery and fired it up. Fires up great then immediately
quits. Fired it up and immediately quits.
The starter miter gas always had a hard time disengaging after the start
anyway, which I need to fix, (some kind of rewiring issue needed) but as I
start it, the engine sounds great, for Agee seconds as long as I have the
starter motor engaged. Quits immediately when it's on it's own,
After a few tries, I see a steam out of a heater hose fitting.
Immediately rolled it back into the garage worried about oil and coolant.
Haven't had time to run through a check list. Would love to have some thoughts
and ideas on what that check list should look like.
Thanks ahead of time
