Thanks Dave! I have always wondered if the susceptibility of preasure
carburetors, like the one in my Helio, to carb icing was different than for
float-type carburetors. Now that I see that it is, the question is "Why?

I dunno. I just happened to have the link. I have no knowledge beyond that. I'd
be interested in the answer, too. There are some references on the web page.

It seems that there must be an error on the chart since it doesn't show
icing for pressure carburetors from 80% to 100% RH. I assume that it was an
error made when the chart was converted to color.
