Was there a bad seal someplace? Extremely dirty air filter? Loose throttle body boot? I'm just curious because I like to avoid a problem before it happens if possible. My one friend's Dale locked up like that from using a K&N air filter. It seemed tight, but you could jiggle it enough to stick some fingers in the opening.

Got the airfilter off, man, it sucked DIRT!! I guess my new mechanic oiled the filter with spray oil, instead of filter oil in the bottle.
Let this be a lesson to everyone. Thoroughly soak your filter with a good quality oil ( I use Belray) and grease the lip where it seals on the airbox. The spray oil doesn't penetrate enough, still allowing fine dust to penetrate. I will have a full report on the damage tonight, should have it back and running again tomorrow.
Oh, and yes it is for sale this week, I had a little set back, and need to generate some cash. So, I'm putting everything I have that runs up for sale, which ever sales first, I'll keep the rest. And let this be a lesson as well, if you want to loose a friend, loan him $5. :cry:
