Hi all! I'm curious what the air plenum flaps do, and I'm hoping someone can educate me, please. I'm referring to the parts mentioned in this thread:

http://914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=349044

My guess is that they prevent water and rocks and other stuff from getting to the air-cooled fan...am I correct? Would missing these flaps hurt engine cooling? (I can't see how, but I might be missing some part of the picture)

Also, what makes the flaps open? Just the low air pressure on the intake side of the fan?

Thanks for your help!
