My snowblower with tecumseh has no filter

Me too, ancient Snow Hound, ca. 1968 or such. I posted on alt.home
repair about it a few months back and got a couple of answers if
anybody cares enough to search. General feeling was that there wouldn't
be a problem for snowblowers. Choke hardware hanging over the carb
inlet leaves no way to attach an air filter if I wanted to, so it's not
like it got lost over the years.

Thanks!

Why is there no air filter? What does blowing snow have to do with
that?
The filters catch dust and crud in the air, and that can happen in
winter as well as other times of the year (though dirt dust would be
pretty well subdued, I would imagine ;) )

I can't recall ANY engine without an air filter.
