I had CO when I tore some weatherstripping out from under the canopy rails.
Replacing that cured it.

Flight report....
So I also installed a Snap Vent (3.25") right above the latch mechanism. Gobs of
air fill the cockpit. I still seem to smell engine exhaust, but the CO card
stayed orange, not even hesitating to change color. That confuses me. With all
the vents closed, the usual vacuum suction at the canopy base is gone. I think
because the canopy causes the cockpit to be low pressure, it tries to suck air
into the plane to try to equalize the cabin pressure. Even with the vents closed,
the CO never got into changing color. Yet I could still smell exhaust.
Either way, with this new vent, it vacates the cockpit air within seconds, so
even if I had high CO, I could just flush with the snap vent and start over. I'm
ok with it now since it didn't register any CO. I doubled the firewall sealing
that was there previously. Hoping that next I can figure out a bellow for
the nose wheel rods. CO DEFINITELY comes in there. Other then that, the only issue
I had today was that my fancy Chinese made hole saw left the hole 1/16" too
large, so the snap vent flops around in the hole. Now to figure out that "issue"
next. Great plane though! Just awesome! I flew with a 701 with an 80hp Rotax
a few weeks back, and it does 70mph cruise. Slowed the Zodiac down to that
speed @ 3500rpm and wow, that's really slow. Such a HUGE speed difference once
you feel it in person. I was shocked. Random thought off track..... Sorry.
Lol.
