Good Ider! I will add that. I'm thinkin a three part approach for early march.

1/4 to 1/2 inches of phenolic spacers for carb to adapter junction.

Metal heat shield backed by heat blanket and adapted to bracketry extending from the valve cover bolts.

Insulating heat sleeve on the fuel line.

Failing that.....under hood fan on a thermostat blowing across a bucket of ice and all aimed at the cabie!
