Tecnam carb icing

The P2006T I have been flying suffers from carb icing almost every morning during taxi and frequently during flight.

Last week during taxi one engine stopped (I didn’t put the heat on in time) and within 5 minutes whilst at the hold point I saw another Tecnam with a stopped engine. Only this one was on the runway and had been given a clearance for takeoff causing a go around for the final traffic.

Has anybody had a similar experience with the Rotax 912, or more specifically the Tecnam?

Given the time of year I am very conscious of losing an engine in IMC.
