I have the same annoyance from time to time on my SC. It would be great to see some pics from others on this forum on how they creatively eliminated the problem. [Reply]  [No Email]

It is the normal reaction to the atomization of the fuel mixture at the venturi in the carb. This is similar to what happens in an air conditioner or a freezer. In that case it is the freon that is evaporating. The heat of transfer from a liquid to a gas requires lots of BTUs and sucks heat out of the metal on the carb, thus causing the frost.

It will cause no problems and usually goes away when the engine is warmed up. mEl [Reply]  [No Email]
