My ZR-1 does full power landings

Why not just disconnect the carb heater? Icing doesn't happen every landing in every weather condition. Oh, maybe it will? And maybe you'd then wish you had left the design alone? oh, ok.

Well, first off to be clear, I did not write that. It was pasted from email from many years ago from an intelligent individual whom I respect. Any one reading this thread can see that it was pasted by reading the posts.

While I think it narrow minded to say such a thing as what was pasted, I certainly do not think it "crazy" but saying someone is crazy for stating their opinion is certainly mentally suspect.

I respect your opinion but while I disagree with your suggestion that I remove my post I will not claim you to be crazy for suggesting it. I maintain that it is a reasonable thing for me to suggest to wit:
Removing coolant going to the TB is NOT for everyone.
Leaving it in place WILL "keep the plenum form developing ice".

Time to go for a drive. Sunny out but cool and humid. Not to worry. I have my TB coolant path in place.
