Re: Carb Heat VW
Guys, <br><br>It doesn't make sense heating the intake manifold runners or the PCV return/breather hole at the base of the carb. The place the carb ices up is the venturi in the throttle body. Unless you are counting on the warmer metal of the intake to heat the carb that's bolted to it, then you're barking up the wrong tree. <br><br>You need to heat the venturi. <br><br>To complicate matters, heating the air charge going into the combustion chambers is also going to decrease the density of same, and rob some power. It's one thing to give up power when you need to run carb heat, but something else entirely when you give up power all the time. <br><br>cheers<br><br>-=K=-
