I have found a two wired connection under the tank that has nothing pluged into it. I searched around and saw no other homeless wires so I thought I would ask here. It is on the right hand side and only has two wires coming in. it is the white/clear connector. Let me know if you have any idea what it could be.

Carb heat prevents ice forming in the venturi. If you have high humidity and cold air, the temperature drops in the intake and ice can form which chokes the intake.

In aircraft, this is a common thing - and they have a knob for carb heat that you pull almost every time you back off the throttle to PREVENT ice from forming.

(just a guess - that's a new one on me!)
