I have heard of it but never seen it and I still believe that our carbs,
slide types, are not prone to internal icing, especially with the oily
mess we call fuel mix.

Also, most people think it occurs when it is cold.

Ill bet all manner of two stroke ills have been missed and the
problem attributed to carb ice.

I have seen profuse sweating on a Mikuni/Cuyuna engine.
