Sorry no pics.

But here is where he should start. Look in the hose that goes from the Air filter box to the engine. There is a funny looking Elbow type thing that goes into the hose. He will have to remove the hose and turn the peice to get it out. Make sure the white insert isn't clogged. Also check the hoses from it to the engine for cloggage. If he cleans them all out and it still does it chances are the Vent box is clogged.
