That has to be the absolute last thing I would have ever thought about. Since I got it running during the 110 degree days of summer, I gave a lot of considderation to keeping things as cool as possible, I suppose the 2" phenolol-blah blah blah (you know what im talking about) spacer isnt helping any either. Hmmm. . . And the air cleanner being so high uup and being open element style isnt good ill bet. So I just need to get warmer air if its the prob? whats the down side to running warmmer air all the time? And Enginenut I can assure you that I can rectify this problem with some ingenious bit of craftsmanship. Ill make sure to get some pics and specs when its done!
