Yeah, my bike is just prone to carb icing, i keep the heater circuit pipes clear but in the past as soon as the temperature dropped below 5 degrees i ended up by the roadside trying to keep the bike ticking over enough to warm up the carbs with engine heat.
Ever since i started using Isopropyl alcohol there's been absolutely no issues whatsoever.
I literally have a bike with a drink problem :b
You must make sure you only use the 99.9% version though, as they also do one that's about 70% alcohol and 30% water, which is used for general cleaning usage. Because of the high alcohol content it burns just like fuel, but lowers the freezing point of any moisture.
I've never found a place to buy 5 litres off the shelf, which is a shame as the postage is almost as much as the product because of the weight, otherwise it would be even cheaper?
What's even more worrying is that propellored planes are prone to carb icing :eek

More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.
