1. Add side panels along side the engine to direct warm air from the radiator to blow across the outside of the carburator to keep it warmer. Plywood, canvas or cardboard will work.

2. Some engines have heat risers to send heat from the exhaust manifold to the intake manifold. Check your owners manual.

3. As others have suggested, build a stove onto the air intake to draw air across the exhaust manifold or muffler to pre-heat the air. Many 1970's and 1980's cars and pickups had this feature before fuel injection became popular.

Carb icing is worst under light loads where the throttle is closed and there is a high vacuum inside the intake manifold.
