Fitted the airbox and taped the 100mm ducting into place so that I could look at options of where to locate it. Did a search on the internet and found pictures of another MNR with the same airbox fitted, the duct is fitted in the nose cone and acts as a ram air inlet.
Made a template in MDF to block off the gap at the top of the radiator in the nose cone. Trial fitted and looks good, will need to cut a hole for the ducting and then make the final version from aluminium sheet. I will then fix in to place at the top of the nose cone.
Ok, so now a year on almost, has the heavy duty starter and wider idler gear solved the hot starting problems?
ReplyDeleteHi Dave, Yes the different higher torque starter did sort my hot start problem. I have since found out that moving to a 24v starting circuit with the stock starter also is an option. Obviously the extra battery adds weight. I don't have hot start issues now.
