My filter STILL hasn't arrived yet
So much for $15 shipping...
So, I was thinking... I already apparently drove around for a few miles without a filter and I'm having scooter withdrawels. I was wondering if anyone out there substituted a filter for something else ever. Right now I have ripped up foam filter on my honda zook carb and that's the only thing it will run with without the actual airbox. And I've heard of people using a rag over their carb (with horror stories of the rag getting sucked inside the carb too!)
What is you guys' opinion? Is it worth it to drive around just for one day with a substituted filter? Maybe a piece of screen with a rag over it with some fresh filter oil? Or is there just no way to avoid micro abrasions on the cylinder wall without a certified filter?
Stock airbox is broken... Should I salvage that for the snorkel and stuff and make me a faux filter?
