The longer you wait to do this, the cooler the engine is

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.
