I guess that depends on how much ice is on the needle. You may not even be able to move the throttle. Also, if you could move the throttle to break the ice off you may not necessarily remove ice from inside the needle holes. Then again, the ice build up could be in the throat and moving the throttle would not affect that ice. I'll stick with the carb heat. It works every time.
