Yeah, that would answer that then, there's no way i would've been revving that high in traffic on a busy 'A' road near where i live, the only way i could do any speed like that would be about 4am in the morning!
I had my carbs fully serviced not long after that and sure enough the carb heater circuit thin pipes were clogged up.
Even though the circuit pipes will need unclogging, i'm still gonna suggest the 99% Isopropyl Alcohol treatment, because it will take any moisture out of the tank which would certainly aid carb icing. 250ml per full tank of fuel does the job to get you out of trouble for now.
It will lower the freezing point of any moisture in the air or tank.
And 5 litres of the stuff on Ebay is not far off the price of 1 litre of Silkolene Pro FST which i personally think is a rip off, plus it doesn't work anywhere near as good either for carb icing, in comparison.
More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.
