My T has been sitting for three months. Yesterday I tried to start it, letting it crank over for 10 seconds, wait and do it again. On the third or forth try I notice smoke coming out from under the body by the trans tunnel. Quickly shut power off grabbed the fire Extinguisher and waited. When I was sure my build wasn't going to go up in flames, are started looking for the problem. First thing I noticed is the smoke did not smell like burning wires. It smelled like a candle you just blew out.
I lifted the T today and checked for burnt wires, found none and no blown fuses. I did notice a breather on top of the transmission. Could the smoke have come from there? I started the engine today with no problems.
