I installed a 1/4 tube from the bottom to connect a drain line which I routed away from the exhaust but not into the airstream. Then I covered the outside bottom and sides of the can with a heat reflective tape. The carb vent lines run into the open top of the can by the float bowl. They are the original length and open to the ambient air. The can serves the dual function of a heat shield and a drip catcher. I havent seen any change in engine preformance since I installed them. Anyone see any obvious problems with this set up or am I headed for a "cat"astrophe.

A friend had this happen on his RANS S7. Once they cut the vents back, draining them into a drain pipe (larger diameter than the tube) all was well again. -------- Thanks, Av8r3400 Kitfox Model IV-1200 W/912UL & IVO Kitfox Model IV-1050 W/912UL & Warp Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=352437#352437 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message kitfox-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Kitfox-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/kitfox-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/kitfox-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
