Carb Heaters

[KiteSquid]

The only harmful effect of carburetor icing is loss of power, or maybe the parts might become frozen in place setting your throttle at one setting, or just one carburetor at one setting..... Your bike might act like it is running out of gas or no spark...... so you might confuse the symptoms with some other problem....

 

To correct this, pull over into a safe place, and stop the bike. The heat that comes up off of the engine will thaw out the carburetors in a short period of time. or hook up the heaters, and put the bike in gear with the engine off for a short period of time.

My bike never had carb heaters in the first place. I've ridden in all temperatures down to about 15º and in all kinds of weather and have never had any problems with carburetor icing. The sky is not going to fall if they're left disconnected on those bikes that have them.
