Propane evaporates in above zero weather and needs no Heat. Gasoline needs a bit more heat in moderate weather to 50 degrees or so especially when high humidity can make frost both on, and inside the carb and manifold. Keeping the air cool or cold, makes it more dense, and thus more of it. this makes more power (assuming good vaporization of the gasoline). Were it mine, I would put an exhaust "heat stove" on it for cold operation feeding warmed air into the air cleaner. Carbureted cars of the 70s and later had them on the exhaust manifold with a tube to the intake snorkel. Almost all piston and carb based airplanes have them to prevent carb icing. A stove pipe with standoffs around the muffler, with a flex pipe to the intake where the pre cleaner attaches, works well, and can be removed in the warmer drier weather. That manifold will make a bit more power. Jim
