<DIV> Nat, maybe an easier way would be to take teflon tape and wrap it
around the body. This material is quite porous and would have the intended
effect. Let me know if you need some</DIV>

<DIV>Another possible way, which I have not tried, to insulate the carb body
is to use heat shrink. A strip of synthetic cloth could be placed front and
rear, under the shrink, to partially provide a , trapped air barrier.
What is the thermal conductivity of shrink? </DIV>
<DIV>I tried using a thin wall sillicon hose for insulation,
unsuccessfully.

<DIV> Warm fuel will assist the vaporization. With care tho, to
disallow vapor lock. And most vaporization does happen in the crankcase due
to partial vacuum effect and heat there. But enough happens in the venturi
to act as refrigerant for the carb body and that can cause freezing and ice
build up. Also, the sudden expansion of the inlet air as it enters the
crankcase just past the venturi, can't be ignored either.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The dynamics are complex and depend on ambient conditions but the
concept is fairly simple once the fundamental is understood: evaporation is
a cooling process</DIV>
