I've been through the carb ice problem a number of times with a number of motor vehicles. You might try applying heat to the carb while it's trying to run. I'd try a hair dryer. That would/should prove whether it's carb ice or not. If it is carb ice, the easiest way to avoid it is with high quality premium fuel. Mobil Super comes to mind. It will have sufficient anti-icing additives to keep your carb from feezing up. Lots of carbs get ice in them from the faster flowing and lower pressure air in the venturi section. "Expansion is a cooling process". I usually experienced it with big Ford V8s. When temps were in the low 40s and plenty of moisture in the air. Mobil Super prevented it. The only other thing is to direct hot air at the carb or build some kind of a carb shield to capture engine heat and retain it around the carb.
