I am worried that the banging of the engine/airbox and cowl will knock the carburetor off! on cooling: does anyone have an opinion on the necessary tubing size to feed a cooling line to the magnetos and vacuum pump from the back wall of the baffling? I saw one owners cooling "sleeves" on his accessories, and they looked good. any opinion as to their effectiveness? thanks, Scott
