Hey guys,
I know we've discussed it before, and I looked back in the old threads, but didn't find what I was looking for.
A friend at work has a VW dune-buggy that has been having sever carb ice problems lately. His dune-buggy has been parked because of it. We've had very high temp and humidity here in NC lately.
He has an after-market intake, which does NOT have the original heat riser, and a Solex carb.
So, in an effort to help him, I found this article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carburetor_heat
What he's going to TRY, is to run his external oil filter hose around, and around, and around his intake manifold. (tightly wrapped, with insulation) I don't know if it'll work, but the cost will only involve a few feet of 3/8" hose to try it.
I thought that it may help some of you too.
