My feelings are to start. Get a Temp gauge probe in the spider body just after the carb. That way you know the temp an when to add carb heat. One of the worst experience I have had while flying was on departure. A friend was PIC in our CD. It was midmorning, we were departing down wind. Just outside of the pattern as I daydreamed and enjoyed the flight the airplane shuddered not once but twice. Got my attention real quick. Made a 180 turn into long
final asking other A/C to let us in now. Well, the tail was still there all were OK. The only cause anyone could come up with was Carb Ice break off the carb an being ingested into the engine. Now I am much more of outside conditions both temp and humidity. Yours, Warren H.
