Vent options for engine heat?
Did quite a bit of driving in the cart yesterday and by the end of it, I could really start to feel the heat radiating from the engine bay
Just curious if anyone has figured out a way or done anything to help the heat dissipate from the engine bay as so it doesn’t radiate up through the seat or body? Really the main downside to a gas cart to me. |

Re: Vent options for engine heat?

Re: Vent options for engine heat?
Mine seems to heat a lot also. I think I will try to put a shield ,Aluminum maybe over the muffler. I had also thought of a couple of small scoops on the side panels under the seat to drag some air in. A friend suggested a couple of small fans like on a computer and put them either in the front panel under the seat or on the sides. It seems most of them are 12 volt ,and I am trying to find a couple of them for free. I will post if and when I use some.

Re: Vent options for engine heat?
Have you thought of mounting a 12V small exhaust fan to push the heat out the back of ther cart?

Computer fan is a good idea until it gets wet. Bilge fan from a boat is fairly waterproof.

Re: Vent options for engine heat?
I wrapped the header with exhaust wrap. And lined the underside of the seat with material from a welding blanket.

AirJunky
Welding blankets are much cheaper that rolls of heat shield material, how well do you think it works? When combined with wrapping exhaust |

Re: Vent options for engine heat?
Bought this if Amazon, need more to do inside of the body but covered the bottom of the seat with it. Super easy to cut and apply

Re: Vent options for engine heat?
Mrjonman, Have you noticed any reduction in noise levels at all? I've got a noisy engine bay in my 2011 with the Kawasaki. Thanks!
