Thanks Brent,
   
  This makes me a little more comforted, but if I have a sealed system with nowhere for the rain to escape, it almost seems rain can collect in the carb and I always thought one drop and the engine quits.
   
  Maybe I'm just being a little paranoid but how does the rain get out?   Should I drill some holes in the bottom of my fiberglass airbox?
   
  Matt

Matt, when it rains do you suffocate? No? Neither will your engine. There is not enough water in even the heaviest rain to stop combustion. Some Reno racers inject water to suppress detonation.
