Attack of the leafs

[Charles B]

Wondered why the F150 engine was not producing as much power as normal. Opened up the case to find a pile of leafs or the top of the engine, and found about 70% of the air intake covered with leaf bits - don't know how they've got there with no tree in sight :- the RIB gets used most weekends. Somes bit will have gone in the intake don't know yet whether this will cause any damage or if there is a filter.

Sounds like a real possibility! Check the exhaust for bits of fur and red stuff prob got sucked in and spat out the other end

Mice can get in anywhere. I once was called to a PC because the mouse didn't work - turned out a mouse had eaten the serial lead. The poor mouse was dead inside the box. How it got in is a mystery - all the backplates were in place - it must have crawled up the gap at the front of the case!!!

told by environmental health that the average mouse can get through a hole the size of a bic biro!!

Thanks for the info. Infact the engine box would make an ideal entrace for a small birds next. Better contact Bill Oddy.
