Burning smell is from the belt that turns the brush. Most the time hair or carpet fibers has it jammed up. Unplug vaccum. Turn it upside down and cut the tangled mess and remove it. Alot of the time the vaccine will be plugged up behind the brush and before the fill basin. Also remove the hose attachment and check from there to the are that makes contact with the floor behind the brush. Use a metal coat hanger to remove clogs. Dump basin and remove filters. Wash them or beat them against something outside to release the dirt. Put it all back together and do some house keeping.

An Ultimate G has lots of suction. If you turn on your vacuum and the bag immediately inflates - that is how you can tell if your Kirby is moving air (suction). There is a more modern brush that came out with the Ultimate G Diamond and the Sentria that has stiffer bristles that dig up pet hair better.
Another way to test the suction is to spread some baking soda onto a hard floor and vacuum it up - you can see how much suction your Ultimate G has, or take off the vacuum head and put on a hose and test the suction at the end of the tube.
Ways to increase your Ultimate G cleaning efficiency. Take off the vacuum head and remove the brush roller. Attach your hose attachment and **** vacuum out the head. Put on a new belt, and remove any hair and or string or threads that may be wrapped around the brush roller. Put the roller back on and on the ends of your roller you will see that the ends spin and have numbers on them. If your vacuum brushroll is original - you could have your bristles rather worn and so you can align the #3 on BOTH sides of the brushroller. This would be a good time to consider upgrading to the Sentria Brush. Remove the bag, and replace with the CLOTH Kirby bag. It has the best filtration and it has the best airflow (which increases what you are referring to as suction). If you want to go the cheap route - at least get the paper Micron Magic with HEPA filtration (but it has slightly less air flow) Remove the side mini emptor from the vacuum and check to see if there is anything clogged up on either the vacuum or the mini-emptor. If your engine is running and inflating the bag and you replace the belt, the brush roller and to the cloth dust bag - your vacuum should pretty much run like a brand new Sentria Vacuum. Your vacuum system is outstanding, but may benefit from a little TLC if you have been neglecting it.
Your Power head is blocked with hair or dirt,,or the hose which connects the Upright with the power head is blocked. Try taking a steel coat hanger apart (straighten it out) and then push it into the pickup hose to remove blockage.
