When your blowing snow, your putting a moist
mist into the air right around the air filter.
it will naturally suck in the cold moisture and
create ice inside the air filter canister. No
way to stop it, but you could slip a womans
nylon stocking over the outside of the air filter canister and that would help keep out some
of the moisture,but you would have to change out
the stocking often, it would get covered in ice.
One way I did it was, manufacture a metal cover
to fit around the intake on the filter housing
and then ran a metal tube back to the muffler
from that, the warm air from the heated muffler
went into the tube and then into the air filter
It's a hassel but it works. You have to be sure
the passage your creating is large enough for
the correct amount of air flow to the engine.
You can look at the filter tubing to the engine
to get the size, and the end at the muffler is
just sitting beside the muffler and not attached, it just collects warm air from that
area.
