Cleaned up the air filter after the weekend on the dry lake bed at El Mirage. Winds were blowing hard with gusts up to 60 mph a couple of times. Mostly in the 30mph range. Then one of the guys left my doors open and dust devil went through us….
This is inside the sock covering the filter and some of what dumped out.
Yeah, the chunks were INSIDE the sock / screen.
On a positive note: I finally figured out what was causing my hood to not pop open against the safety catch when the lever was pulled. The hood latch mechanism was bent against the catch jamming it. Picture kinda shows them pretty tight together. I’d already worked it apart a little.
Up to now I’ve had to wedge my fingers between the hood and the top of the grill to get enough pressure to get the catch to release. Used vice grips to get the leverage to pull things apart vs. the blunt force trauma of an hammer. and got a gap between the catch (green) and housing. Opens great now since one of my earlier solutions was to get some extra length out of the hood’s spring.
