    A Thread to talk and ask questions about Kirby’s

    This is a thread that I started to talk about Kirby’s mainly, first question where does the air from exhaust vent take air from? I see where it comes out but where does the air go in to cool the motor? This question applies from the Generation 3 All up to the new Avalir.
