Took the tank off when he couldn't find any external reason for the sticking and found one of those orrible mesh filters from the nose cone had become detached and found it's way into the inlet, jammed the butterfly wide open !.

That would be Ian then (Keith Heuwens old team mate), he does have some bad luck, only last week he phoned to ask me to keep a eye out for a CRF450, Husky 610 and the Snap-on tools that were stolen from his garage, after some scum remover the roof tiles disabled the alarm blacked out the windows and greased the garage door runners.
Shall I inform him we may have found one of the Snap-on sockets
