Carb icing is a common reality in cars and no doubt in tractors with normally aspirated carburettor engines operating in cool/cold and damp atmospheric conditions. Cars and indeed aircraft have a hot air stove, ducting hot air from around the exhaust manifold into the intake system and thereby raising the intake air temperature, melting the ice build-up in the carb. The rich mixture is a normal result of carburettor icing and will eventually stop the motor completely. On a few occasions I had been called to a car which had stopped on the road for no apparent reason, but when I got to the job, the motor started and ran normally, due to the fact that the warmth of the engine warmed the carburettor and melted the ice which had originally stopped the motor. You will probably find that when weather conditions change, the carb ice problem will disappear too.
