Rather than hijack the thread about the carb heat shield, I thought I'd start this one --
Tony, you said you removed the rain tray and have had no problems. The rain tray was removed on mine, and when I pulled the engine I found the pressure plate rusted. The carb is a vertical DAT, and although it has an air filter, I wonder about water getting into it.
I still have the rain tray, and had thought about modifying it. Just wonder what others do. This poor fellow will be outdoors most of the time, perhaps with a cover, but I'm planning on building an all-weather night fighter here.
Thanks for your thoughts.
