Leaf blower works real well for drying equipment also. If you have one you could probably get the majority of the water/moisture out by blowing into the snorkel with the leaf blower.

Sounds like that makes for a nasty mess riding with the coal dust, have you given any though about getting a small air compressor? I spray the **** out of mine with the hose after every ride then use 125psi to blow the moisture out of all the hard to get at places. just a thought</end quote></div>

 

Maybe you can just put a pre-filter over the snorkels to keep dust out and zip-tie it on. Duct tape it on if nothing else will do.

 

to me the film that would be left behind would either cause premature belt belt or make the belt slip in some cases. if you have access to an air compressor i would do that and put a dusat cover over the air intake. imo.
