Danger Carb Ice today

Whiling away the weekends: until the 'strip dries out by transplanting a Ford Escort carb engine into a CFi Fiesta for my student son......and ..........
Carb Ice!
had the scrap-dump motor hot-wired and without airfilter so I could run it up and ice was forming freely on the Ford VV carb needle assembly this afternoon.
A terrible but visible reminder that in a month or two I must use that carb-heat often and plenty on our little 0-200 RR Continental. Nothing like seeing the frost form to imprint on the memory!
