    Set the probability to zero with some carb heat blocks.

    Jeff, you are right.  We are very lucky to have full time carb heat on most of our Rotax 912 trikes.

    Hey, can you contribute any to this page:  HERE  It would be great to have everybody share their best weather links on one page!  I'm sure you have some favorites--  if anyone need, you can just post/send the link, & I'll do the rest & credit you with the link.

    Hi guys,

    Jeffs solution is very good, I thing it is the factory setting, but there are next tubes with hot oil or water, next joins. There are the next thinks which could be a throuble points....

    In simplicity is a genius....for us - poor pilots :)

    We use engines with outside carbs as VW, Subaru or mine Verner. Simple solution for us is "winter air intake" into the carb. It is a tube. One end of the tube goes to carb - opposite end goes to hot cylinder or exhaust tube. The air never will be too hot (too hot air reduces effect - power the carb) because the tube sucks hot and cold air both. Our carbs are never frozen.
