This is a picture of a machine we had in for service. A few months later the customer called and said he couldn't get it started and was difficult to pull the starter. Since the customer let the machine sit a mouse had the time to build a nest inside.  

After pulling it apart we found a mouse nest in the starter-flywheel area which needed to be cleaned out. Something like this is easy for the repair shop to get blamed for bad service since the customer really never used the machine. 

​Most times if the mice are in the engine long enough the mice will start eating the wires.

​Moth balls are a good deterrent for mice
