My bullet 350 classic suffers badly with carb icing in this frosty weather. Do many of you also have this? or am i just one of a few? Any suggestions for a cure? It's got to the point now that when I look out of the window in the morning and see a frost, I leave the Bullet in the garage and get the bicycle out and cycle to work!

Hi mike. I used to get that on my Electra X on occasion. Adding Silkolene PRO FST to the fuel does help to smooth out running in freezing conditions. The main additive is, I believe, Isopropylalcohol, which can be purchased cheaper and seems to do the same job. About 5% added to the petrol.
