I was moving a 12'x 24'building with my 8N had to leave it hooked on the trailer over night and didnt cover it. Well it rained overnight and the next morning so as you all can figure the distributor got wet. Luckily it started anyway not running the smoothest. I then noticed the top of the carburator was freezing up the temperature was about 32* out. Can anyone explain what was going on. I did shut it off and dried it out and poured luke warm water over the carb to thaw it out. Thanks Odie.

Just saw something on the Discovery channel(or something like that). Some rich guy set up an expedition to DRIVE from England to New York in 100 days. One leg of the trip had them crossing the Bearing Strait,(which they failed to do),from Siberia to Alaska at ice pack time.Before they crossed Siberia (in winter) to reach the Bearing Strait,they had to purchase trucks manufacured by a Russian company that makes them special for the Siberian climate.To keep the fuel from slushing up and ultimately freezing(-40/-50 degrees in week long blizzards),they run the engine's return coolant lines thu the fuel tanks.(maybe a line tapped from the N's coolant system and wraped around the carb might work). It's so cold over there that when they stop to sleep,the trucks obviously have to stay running over nite or they(the trucks)will freeze.This requires someone to stand watch because the exhaust vapor drips and freezes to form stalagmites, that,if gone unchecked,gro up to the point of totally choking off the exhaust's tail pipe and stalling the engine.

Odie,
The reason the carb ices is the speed of the air traveling through the venturi chills the metal of the carb below freezing even though the air temp is above freezing (chill factor), it gives the effect of being below freezing. The idea of wraping the carb and manifold should cure the problem, just like on an aircraft carb. Good luck.
Mike

Here is a link to a previous message about carb icing from the archives.
