Default Re: Speedway 4 brl to Tri-power adapter

Don't plan on running that high setup in cold weather. I had a setup like that on top of a super charger, was driving up the pike about 70 and the outside temp 32* this was on my 40 with no hood, I let up on the throttle and it was stuck, I could see the carb through the windshield, the base of the carb was all white with frost, I had about 30 miles to go to my exit, the engine kept slowing down, it was down to 20mph coming off the exit, I only live a mile from the exit, I pulled in the drive, pushed the door opener drove in and got out and watch the engine running slow, in about a min. the ice was melting in the carb and the engine started speeding up, had to run around and shut it off, when all the ice melted the throttle worked fine. The carb don't like to run cold with no heat riser. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Walt
