First you stuff a huge wad of a mouse nest under the manifold..... a nice fluffy one......

Now have the resident mouse find his (or her) way into the air pump intake tube.......

Now let the mouse jam the air pump up solid and that in turn will create a low power situation and create a very costly repair to the customer!!!

:%:%

Had a mouse do that to my fresh air blower in my ML.

Would you believe that the MB wrenches were so amused by it that they didn't charge me for fixing the whole thing?

There is now a screen blocking the opening through which said mouse entered.

The mouse probably could have stayed the entire winter until it entered that air pump line. It was obvious that the nest was not built in a day and the customer comuted with this truck.

Thats kind of a common problem with snowmobles, I had a Polaris 600 triple to repair once that they put so much corn in the air box when the owner ran the sled top speed it filled the engine with corn and set it up, nice mess form the little varmints
