Question for the VW guys, my new (to me) vmax has a 1600cc great planes conversion running a weber downdraft carburetor mounted above the engine. It has 164.8hrs on this setup and lacks any kind of carb heat. Am i asking for trouble or is the radiant heat from the engine sufficient to prevent icing?
