The crew had started the auxiliary power unit (APU) approximately 30 minutes prior to starting engines. The crew and 4 passengers were on board the airplane, when the crew started the number 2 engine and smelled smoke. The crew turned around to observe smoke in the cabin. The crew shut down the number 2 engine, the APU, and all electrical switches. The crew and passengers got off the airplane through the main cabin door. An inspection of the airplane revealed a venturi fan unit motor located aft of the rear cabin bulkhead had overheated and failed. Components and wiring in the vicinity of the venturi were charred. No other anomalies were found. The venturi was an older model identified in 1994 as being subject to fan motor overheating. A 1994 AD required that the older units be inspected every 4 years. The unit on the incident airplane was installed in 1999.
Probable Cause: the overheated and burned venturi fan motor.
