have had carb ice with a xs cowled 912S.

Without an intercooler, no way to get carb ice on a 914! Tap off any
water and feed into the cockpit to make tea. With one, at impossible
100% efficiency, same as a 912. A big Rotax dealer here (CPS, Inc.)
puts out a tech paper claiming a cowled 912 just cannot ice, because
of the carb design. Says it can theoretically, but he's never heard
of it, and he stickin' to that story.
