Those are good points, Dave, that I hadn't thought of. I got the idea
of starting and taxing
with carb heat on from a long article (that sure looked authentic and
knowledgeable)by
Doug Williams titled "The Stromberg Mixture control on C-85 & c-90,
Truths and Tales".
Anyone else out there with knowledge on this subject that cares to
chime in?

Maybe it is unfounded but I have a problem pulling on the carb heat
when I'm on the ground. I use it in the pattern but as soon as I
touch down the first thing I do is turn off the carb heat. The
engine is pulling unfiltered air into the carb when the carb heat
is on. Here in the midwest flying off of grass strips in the dry
hot summer there is a lot of dust moving around. Compound that with
spring plowing and fall harvest and there is a fair amount of dust
that can be pulled into the carb.
