I agree that applying carb heat quickly after experiencing power loss is
critical, but not because the ENGINE cools rapidly -- it doesn't. The heat
for carb heat comes from he exhaust system, which does cool rapidly if the
engine is producing little or no power.

Your right. My whole point was that you are no longer producing heat
thus things start cooling down. Yes, I know that carb heat comes from
a shroud that is around the exhaust. I didnt think that I had to get
technical here. But I guess for some I have to.
