Oh, that's what you're talking about, the carb heater circuit.
I wasn't sure to be honest :rolleyes
We've been down this road before.
If your pipes are clear and you still suffer from carb icing, give your bike booze! :thumbup
From a post earlier in the year:
"....SOLUTION: Buy 5 litres of 99% pure alcohol off Ebay, for about £20 delivered, and put 200ml in every full tank of fuel.Carb. icing only happens between 0 an 5 degrees temperature by the way, not normally below or above those temperatures!The alcohol lowers the freezing point of any moisture, and also binds with water in the tank then burns it off.My bike has never suffered from it since, and the alcohol burns quite happily with petrol with no side effects whatsover, other than the good one! Make sure it's 99% though and not the 70% one, as the other 30% is water, and you obviously don't want to be sticking water in the tank...."

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