I don't have the carb ice kit.

Carb icing is a possibility for the once-every-20-minutes misfire (which for
now I can live with !)

When you say it runs rough at the end of a fast climb out do you mean
immediately you level off and reduce power ? Or after a minute or two or
five ? And if it runs rough like that does it go away after a certain length
of time if you don't put carb heat on ?

I am contemplating putting the same kit on, but before spending $340 on it I
want to be sure that the problem will be fixed by it !

TIA
