Hope you didn't cook the motor...that would suck! Was it an oily smelling smoke or that of something electrical burning? Before trying to start it again I would go over the electrical stuff like the coil etc. To rule out the obvious! Good Luck! As for lending it out my rule of thumb there is "If I ain't on it... it don't go!"
