The Zenith does have a venturi. You can even change it for different size engines.

But I also read carefully all available statistics on aircraft accidents in South Africa, and I saw that carb heat was almost never mentioned as a cause or even a contributing factor. What I just figured out now is why the Zenith/Stromberg does not ice easily. Because it hasn't got a Ventury. Simple.

You could be getting a temp drop through the carb of 40+ degrees. Also mentioned was the fact that certified engines must be capable of raising the carb intake temp by 90 degrees F at 75% power. Your best chance for ice to form is on a warm (60 to 90 degree F) and humid day. Your carb may not have a venturi but the fuel vaporizing will cause a big temp drop and could contribute to carb ice. Do a google search for carb ice. Lots of info there.
