Since we're doing prehistoric thread revival, how about using a radiative heat source, like a halogen bulb, focused down the throat at the throttle? Black ceramic coating too?

I have my carb manifold wrapped in copper and a heater in the air filter, this still froze up after 50miles. Cant wait for the blow through set up.

Yeah it runs much better and because it doesn't have to run super rich to get up the pipe anymore it's loads better on fuel :)

It's a minisport fast road/rally but to be honest if I did it again I would go standard for more round town drivability :)
