Carb ice forms because the reduction of pressure in the intake, causes the air to cool below freezing, and if moist enough, the moisture condenses and freezes onto the butterfly. If there is no fuel but the motor continues to be turned by the prop, does not carb suction (reduction in pressure ) still exist to some extent? Yes, but the temperature reduction due to the loss of pressure is fairly miniscule compared to the temperature reduction due to the evaporation of the fuel. Matt
