What I have noticed though, is that I think my carb ices if I haven't let it warm for long enough. Generally happens if she hasn't warmed much, and I jump on the freeway on these cold cold mornings. After a while at 100kph, she just starts losing power.
It still idles fine though at that point, so it feels like the secondary is closing or something like that. If I pull over for five minutes and just let it idle, I can take off again with it having warmed up, and the issue doesn't re-occur.
If I sit in traffic first, or let it warm up for longer at home (or just go on a more start stop drive first), I don't have the issue. #carbylife
