what are you talking about?
the premise is snowblowers do not have air filters because [they] will ice up?
[they] meaning the air filter will ice up?
this is the air filter on a carburetor, on a small engine (i.e. snowblower)
If that is the case then back when cars were carburated (carburetor'd... prior to fuel injection) how did they not freeze up in wintertime?
Did people take the air filter off their qjet between november and april in order to drive their car without things icing up ?
how come my hrx mower with gx190 engine, with an air filter, doesn't ice up if I run it outside in < 30°F ?
how bout any one of my chainsaws, while i'm not crazy like all you mines not ported but it does have an air filter.
even on fuel injected cars why doesn't their air filter freeze up?
the only time I've ever seen any kind of freezing was winterizing the boat in december, on land, and the 4-barrel holley main butterflies would get a nice coating of ice on them, didn't affect anything, granted that was a flame arrestor and not an air filter, i've never seen an air filter specifically freeze up. So what science are people following with
take out the air filter so it dont ice up ?
What are my thoughts - some phrase gets said, then repeated, before you know it it's taken to be the norm, and boaters are the worst with this.
