Engine starts without air filter
 
Yesterday while I was changing my engine's air filter, my friend starts the engine and it idles without engine's air filter for less than a minute.

After he turned off the engine, I noticed that some debris around the engine air filter box has gone (sucked into the engine I guess).

Should I be worry with this?

depends on what the debris was....

small tree debris, sort of 2 or 3 rice grains size.

burned into little carbon crisps already in the combustion chamber, and then down the exhaust. not worried about it unless engine starts to run stupid.

nature tree leaves can't survive inside the cumbustion chamber. All should be fine, but don't do it again~

Not bad, if you wanted to a port and polish in the meanwhile, just dump a bag of sand into your intake :troll:
