Truth of the matter is,--------I was experimenting, I don't normally use carb heat on start up either. But w/the Revflow in freezing conditions during flight it will freeze up, the gillotine actually sticks and the next thing u do is bend the small leaf spring that actuates it. After that happens I approach the airport at next to full throttle and kill the engine when I have the runway made. I sent Revmaster an email requesting the next leaner needle, Maybe I need to switch needles when the temp drops, sounds like a lot of work though.
