Shortly after take off in the frigid humid weather, I began developing carb ice so I played it safe and returned to the airport. My carb heat is not sufficient and needs work. I did notice that when I leveled off at 3000 my rpm was up by a 100 and speed was up by 5mph then the rough engine syndrome set in and I called it off when the carb heat I have would not clear it up completely.
