Re: why is moisture forming on the outside of carbs
That's perfectly normal. The carb actually gets colder than atmospheric temperature due to carb's venturi. The pressure drops inside it (in order to draw and atomize fuel) as air is accelerated through it. As anyone who's sprayed out a can of spray paint knows, a pressure drop in a gas causes a drop in temperature. Like a cold drink on a hot day, water from the air will condense on it.<br /><br />In extreme conditions, this can actually lead to a build up of ice on the carburetor.<br /><br />EDIT: Dang slow..
Re: why is moisture forming on the outside of carbs
amazing it is not seen more often than it is.<br /><br />of course the bigger problem is when the ice is inside the carb throat, not just the outside. <br /><br />see graph for carb icing:<br /><br />
