No air filter would make it run lean. Colder air is more dense than warm air. So maybe you just went past the too lean to run mark.

You definately need an air filter. It is just a piece of foam (right shape and density) that is coated in oil.
No filter would cause a leaner condition but if that was the problem I would think choking the carb of air would have cured that.

A filter is most definetly a must though
