The propensity for carb ice is determined by the installation on that particular airframe. The idea that Continentals are more prone to carb ice than Lycomings is an urban myth IMO. My experience in flying over 40 types of light carburated aircraft, is the two worst for carb ice were the BN2 Islander and the PA 23 Apache, both with Lycoming engines.
