Lots of ideas on how to keep mice away from engines on this forum. I have always had luck with old pantyhose filled with mothballs and garlic on top of the engine. Just remember to remove them before starting the engine or else your nose will be sorry.

Could possibly be my issue. I will check and report back. I’ve had problems with mice in my shed on other equipment.
