I don't think any gauge will prevent carb ice but I have a Lamar Iceman instrument that is supposed to detect it by way of a probe in the carb. Light passes across a gap and if the light transmission is occluded, it signals that there's ice in the carb. Or the literature says it does. I had it installed and to this day I don't know if it works. The company didn't offer help to my installation shop about how to wire the audio into my panel. So it sits there, never used. But it wouldn't prevent icing even if it worked. |

We had an "Iceman" in the (O-360) Mooney for a couple of years. The
instrument worked very well and detected the ice right when it was starting to form. For education, we tried letting the ice build up but at cruise power settings, the Lyco O-360 seems pretty resistant. We removed the indicator and sold it to a Skylane owner for reasons unrelated to its performance. If I had a Skylane, it would be more important to me I don't think any gauge will prevent carb ice but I have a Lamar Iceman instrument that is supposed to detect it by way of a probe in the carb.
