Re: L6 with headers heat to carb
Quote:
Once, 30 or 40 years ago, when I ran the Holley 390 CFM with a sort-of Rube Goldberg bellcrank linkage -- I experienced real carb icing. It was Winter, and I was coming down from a ski trip in the White Mountains. I ran into a sleet storm before hitting Globe and my linkage froze up. I was stuck in high RPMs. I managed to make it to my halfway hamburger stop by feathering the clutch. I stalled the clutch to stop the engine. After coffee and a couple of cheeseburgers, the higher temps at the lower altitude let the linkage thaw out, and the second half of the trip was nominal. I realized why Cessna 150s had a Carb Heat knob. One reason why I converted to a cable/throttle linkage on the next rebuild.
