I have seen this phenom in other applications too. I worked in a plant that had water ring vacuum pumps that drew tremendous vacuum and at the reduced end we would get ice chunks in the lines in the middle of July, wound up wrapping them with heat tapes. We were told it was a vortex cooling effect. I hope maybe some knowledgeable person would explain this to us because I think anyone who has driven or owned and updraft carburator has experienced this more than once. I think even earlier tractor engineers couldn't fix it either because I notice some of the old big block gas tractors had a tube running from the exhaust manifold down to the carb housing to warm it up.
