ABSTRACT:
A vehicle has a rear mounted, air cooled engine. The engine has a fore-and-aft crankshaft and a cooling air fan is mounted to the front end of the crankshaft for drawing air in through an inlet in the front of a shroud for the engine. A transverse, vertical baffle is mounted so that its lower edge is in sealed engagement with the top of a forward portion of the shroud. A screen is mounted to the front side of the baffle and is shaped to cooperate with the baffle to define an open bottomed cavity which leads into an air duct mounted so as to channel air from the cavity to the shroud inlet. The screen is located just rearwardly of a seat mounted on the vehicle.
