Well that may very well be true. But, the situation at hand is MJ used all of the fund raiser monies as well as some of his own up to this point and cannot afford to drop any more into it at this time. Granted it doesn't cost anything to tear things apart to investigate. He just cannot afford to fix whatever the problem may be. And the season is rushing by very quickly. At this point, if he decides to keep at it, he'll probably end up covering everything up until next year.
Trust me, when that motor started shutting down and overheating, it sounded really wrong.
