A little trick that I learned back in the early 50's, and pass on to
all who don't know of it, is using the PRIMER to keep the engine
running if it shuts down for carb ice. The primer injects fuel
directly into the intake manifold bypassing the carburetor and can
keep the engine running intermittently and in many cases generate
enough heat for the carb heat to become effective again.


Since carb ice blocks the induction air, this is unlikely to work well.
