Learning about lift generation - a waste of time.

But heat travels, it won,t get up to the carbi, but it helps All the way from there.

And it is a reassurance, just being there.

Long manifolds typically have much more problems with icing, Probably as so little heat makes it back along the entire length  Hot air into the carb  intake would  fix the problem at source (expansion and evaporation of fuel).  near port injection has very little icing problems. Nev

If heat does not travel to the venturi the moisture in the air will turn to ice and this is what carbie heat is there to prevent. Heating the reduced amount of air and fuel that has got past the ice in the venturi is not going to do any good at all, in fact it will reduce the density.
