That airplane liked to develop carb ice. The EGT was a good indicator of it
forming, as I remember.

Manifold Pressure gauge works just as well.
If the MP drops and the throttle hasn't been touched, ice is a good
suspect.

Yeah, or just RPMs in a non-complex airplane. I remember the first
time I got carb ice. It was textbook. RPMs were a little down, so
I bumped up the throttle. After the second time bumping the throttle,
I pulled the carb heat. Of course, that made things worse 'cause the
mel****er has no place to go 'cept into the engine. Fortunately, I
had read the textbook on this one.

And how about just using the primer to pump gas direct into the intake
to keep it running a little while? Have used that technique at least
twice over my 45 years of flying.
