Hey Mark
Trying to remember, was it a Solex carb?

I remember mine icing up on a dark & very foggy Nov evening during a trip from Durham to Cirencester.
Cut out in the middle lane of heavy traffic. That was interesting !!!!!!

Turns out the hot air feed tube from the manifold had gone walkabout, probably somewhere on the A1
