I noticed the outside of the vacuum is very dusty when done. I currently use the white hepa bags thinking they are better. How is this vacuum for allergies and asthma? |

bagless upright in the late 90s, it would always be dusty all over the outside of the vacuum when done cleaning. I hated that. I don't think this sounds normal for a Kirby though, especially if they have a hepa bag. Are Kirby's sealed? I don't know. I've never owned one but I've used one a long time ago.

I have checked fill hose and washed the bag in cold water several times with whisk detergent. Just wondering how the ultimate g is Co. Pared to newer hepa vacuums. I would be willing to take less suction for cleaner air. |

No, Kirby is not considered a sealed system. However, others here are right, there are more places dust can be disturbed that blowing from the bag. |

Can motor exhaust be sealed if operated for a very short period of time say 2 minutes max |

If your Kirby Diamond is leaking dust, the biggest culprit is that someone forgot to add silicone sealant all around the fancase the last time the fan was replaced or if the fancase was opened for any other reason . Also make sure you are using the best Kirby cloth HEPA bags. Cheaper bags WILL leak dust.
NEVER BLOCK THE MOTOR COOLING VENTS for any reason or any amount of time. The motor will overheat very quickly and a burnt out motor is a very expensive repair.
