I have A 1999 Grand Touring 583. I get carb icing after running in deep powder during cold weather. Besides gas line antifreeze is there any thing else I can do to prevent this ?

try not to get snow in the air box.make shield that covers the top ,but stil lets air in.

Have you done any air box mods? Like taking the shelf out, or some foam?
Other then rigging up a shield as trailburner mentioned or reinforcing the foam. There is not really much you can do other then after powding some powder, stop clean the foam off & go at it again...

They are called powder prefilters, i have the same problem with my 99 RMK. sno-tek.com may have the one you need or else try slp.com. powder gets into your air box (wich you know) and screws a lot up. keep withthe isopropale alcohol (iso heat in a red bottle, not yellow) and look into one of these prefilters. i just ordered mine but they are suppose to let NO snow in and only a 1% reduction in air flow. My cuz has one and he doesnt have the problems i do in the powder, wich sucks for a mountain sled and a trip to wyoming just a few weeks away. Good luck O yeah, they only cost $20 too

If you live in Canada then buy Petro Canada gas, it has gas-line antifreeze built into it
