MMkay, no harm done then, unless those 10 miles were n a sand storm.

Out of curiosity, how many would it take before there was harm?

Erm, but more immediately. If the starter fluid works, does that rule certain things out / point to something?

Pretty much rules out compression, spark, and air supply problems.

I would suspect a fuel/carb related problem.

Too many variables to know. My dad bought a used car & was very happy with it. His job caused him to run up & down a lot of oilfield roads, very dusty/dirty. He saw the thing start using oil after about 3 or 4 weeks, & he drove a LOT of miles, generally close to 100,000 a year, he broke 100,000 one year. He took it to his mechanic & found he had no air cleaner. Sold it, took his loss,, bought another car. Pretty sure he checked the air cleaner on that one.
