No, my carb intake area on the lower cowl is not sealed to the filter. It has been a thought of mine as it occurred to me after looking at other KR's at the gathering. Some of the KR's at the gathering which had cold air intakes simular to mine had some type of tubular runner sealing them. One even appeared to have baffle material as a way to seal off the opening. I was obviously not getting around or able to get down low to crawl around in look real well with my foot in a device and crutches. I think the carb area intake not being sealed off is a great point. I could see how that could greatly disturb the lower cowling air and therefore raise the pressure.

Is your Carb air intake sealed to the air filter so as not to let any of that air into the lower cowel at all? -- Glenn Martin KR2 N1333A 13238 Hudson-Krohn Rd.
