Frans,I would suggest that you take a look at the bottom of the cowl, where all
of the air escapes from inside the cowl..No cooling will take place unless the
air inside the cowl can get out. You said you replaced the entire duct
work...You
may have restricted the exit area in some form or other. If you see anything
that will restrict the flow of air to the outside, can it be moved? Can
it be reduced in size? It is critical thatthe exit area does not restrict the
flow of the exit air...
