Ranger engine hotspot/Gipsy Manifold Heat

Thanks guys, I believe on the Gipsy Major this would have nothing to do with icing as it is downstream of the carb. Could it have something to do with vaporisation of fuel under certain conditions.

I was also told that on the Gipsy, the outer box was made thinner than the inner box so that if there is corrosion, the outer box will will rust through first, but I have not confirmed this.

Heating of the air/fuel mixture is done to prevent Icing most systems now heat the incoming air with engine heat before entering the Carb. as opposed to heating the manifold under the Carb. On some engines an engine oil feed provides the heat

The question is easy to answer with regards to de-activation. Moisture could collect in the jacket surrounding the inlet manifold and thus corrosion in the inner wall would lead to an air leak in the inlet manifold with not-so-good results

cheers
