Unless it had been drowed before my ownership within the 5 hours of use from the previous owner, but seems unlikely.
Shouldn't be that then. I have done the same numerous times and my bottom end was still perfect when i replaced it at about 300 hours. Normally see problems (like rust) when people don't know what to do an load the bike up full of water and take it home for a few days and then off to the bike shop for repairs. drown, fix and run should burn out any moisture.

Normally the air filter prevents any sand getting through to the engine.

Maybe your buddy need gas, used it and replaced it without knowing it was supposed to be premixed
