One tip that I was given long ago was to leave the carb heat on for a minute or two (or even longer) during the runup so that the carburettor body would be warmer. The idea was that no ice would then be able to form during the subsequent minutes of the take off. I can't claim the idea or confirm that it works... any thoughts on this?
