It is a fact of life and how a carb works that causes the manifold to get real cool. Ya it does not happen all the time and few people ever see it happen. Start a tractor then go over and hold your hand close to the top of the carb where it bolts to the manifold and you will find that it is very cool and if weather conditions are right if will frost up. On many engines you will never notice a problem but it can be it things so happen to be just right. That is why on the older cars and trucks they had the warm air tube gong into the air cleaner to keep the carb warm and help it from frosting up. Another fact the Indians of the South west used evaporation of wet hides to make cooling systems for there homes and some times even ice   [Reply]  [No Email]

My old case SC did the same thing. Old and all others are correct, normal. Find a way to warm the manifold. Airplane engines have adjustable manifold heat for this same issue.   [Reply]  [No Email]

If things are right yes it can cause problems. If it is cold and humid where you are yes it can cause a problem and then the next year not a problem. If you have a way to cover that side of the engine with a trap or sheet of metal etc you will find holding the engine heat in will stop that problem. Every year I see posts like this and every year people are told the same thing. Been on here now for over 10 years and I have said the same thing year after year and others have agreed with what I have said time and time again   [Reply]  [No Email]
