You're better off running it with no filter (for a short period) rather than running the risk of having bits of paper face mask being sucked into your cylinders; I doubt it'd either be sturdy enough or allow enough air flow, not until it's been ripped by the suction that is.

Running with no air filter is a good way to destroy the rings on the pistons.. just go get a new air filter.

Cheaper than a engine rebuild. Don't fool around with a Mickey mouse fix.
