So Im sure you have all experienced the good ol' mice at work destroying your toys in some way,shape or form. Well I had a mouse decide to raise its family inside a motor vehicle of mine.Somehow it managed to climb its way into the air intake of the engine and give birth to some baby mice over the summer. Well if she had paid the rent and cleaned up the mess before leaving I guess I wouldn't have been too mad. Anyways the mice had chewed up the air filter into little bits and spread them about inside the air manifold, along with pooping and bringing in a nest of grass.

Dumb mistake#1- left the vehicle out over the summer without sealing it away from the elements and creatures.

#2-started up the engine without checking first.

So now Im worried that all that crap and airfilter bits got sucked through the carb and into the cylinder. 
And if the stuff that may have been sucked into the engine will scuff up cylinder or hurt the pistons or will it just get burned and not have any major carnage? What should i do to make sure I am safe to run the vehicle without damaging it with the mouse damage?
