All,
Because of time constraints on cowl improvements, I have a situation whereby my carb/airbox is sucking air from the bottom half of the cowl, with no fresh air inlet. Down the road that will be remedied. For now it's like I have a little bit of carb heat all the time. Not the best for achieving best power, but is it doing any harm?
CHTs and oil temps seem to be within parameters and I'm guessing that atomitaziton of the fuel is probably slightly better with the warmer air temps. I'm looking at doing a 400 mile x-country in this condition and wondering, again, so long as temps are in line, is this air intake situation doing any harm?
I thank you in advance for thoughts and ideas.
Larry
