Carb icing isn't caused by low air temperature, but it's made possible by moist cold air... It's caused by the pressure changes in the carb. The venturi raises the air speed without raising the volume, which lowers its pressure and, as per Boyle's Law, the temperature. You don't tend to get carb icing at significant minuses, since there's not enough moisture in the air to do it.
Oh yes, it's also not caused by the petrol freezing. |
I noticed when its foggy at about 3-5 C is when its worse... below that the problem goes away.
