Can the rear engine have issues with rain?

[rrolland]

The same thing happened to me a few summers ago when my plane was parked outside during a trip to northern Florida. I did not have a rear engine intake cover and the filter got wet.

I did manage to get the engine started in the end. Since then, I always cover the intake with a cover purchased from Bruce's Aircraft Covers. Never had the issue again.
