What causes the throat of the carb where it bolts to the intake to frost up?

the velosity of the air ( or expansion) going thru it... Like an air conditioner spraying freon thru an orifice.. as it EXPANDS it gets very cold..

Venturi effect. As air flows through the carburetor the reduced diameter causes the air velocity to increase which reduces pressure. This pressure drop has a cooling effect. Adding fuel to the mix cools it even. Moisture in the air condenses and shows as frost on the carb. This frost can build up on the inside reducing throttle opening and causing poor engine performance especially at WOT. Or something like that.
I had that issue roading the 170 home in January a couple years ago |
