I thought the trouble with the Carb is the probable venturi freeze if it was
flowing water.  A problem injected does not have.  But thinking and knowing
are differant.  Not betting the farm.  Just clarifying ideas.


Eric, A close coupled port fuel injection or direct injection won't ice, but icing has been shown to be a possible problem on injection near the end of the intake. It builds up on the intake walls. This doesn't stop the engine but reduces power.
