Lycombing suggest the range of 20 to 90 degrees F for the possibility of carb icing. You could be getting a temp drop through the carb of 40+ degrees. Also mentioned was the fact that certified engines must be capable of raising the carb intake temp by 90 degrees F at 75% power. Your best chance for ice to form is on a warm (60 to 90 degree F) and humid day. Your carb may not have a venturi but the fuel vaporizing will cause a big temp drop and could contribute to carb ice. Do a google search for carb ice. Lots of info there. Larry Flesner
