One really important thing you said there - 'the fuel nozzles are there as the low pressure sucks the fuel out'. Never twigged that before. I should say I fly in the UK where carb ice is always a possibility.
Great video! I recently read someone taking their private pilot written, and they were given a question, when is carb ice more likely to develop at 70°F with 80% humidity or 80°F with 70% humidity + another option that was a throw away. I’m assuming that an answer with higher humidity would be more likely to develop icing conditions because of the higher relative moisture correct?
Wow, this is excellent video. I like that you bring the POH and read from it. I learn a lot from your videos!
Glad you like them!
I fly fixed wing but this is applicable knowledge and I know fully understand the carb concept. Very well explained. Thank you
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the feedback!
You are the Best Heli teacher I know! Thanks again😎☑️
Thanks for the feedback.
As a student pilot, this video explained it so good. Thanks a lot. Very informative. 👌🏻🚁
Glad it was helpful!
Sir
You are the only one that made me understand carb heat
Thank you sir
Thanks for the feedback!
Really helpful video - thank you! My R44 instructor asked me to read up on carb icing / emergency procedures before my 1st solo circuit shortly 🙂
Thanks for the feedback!
Excellent explanation
Glad it was helpful!

yes
Overall I like the video, but you have your fuel/air mixture flow backwards. It should be flowing from the right to left according to how you drew it.
I was thinking the same thing. Butterfly valve is located AFTER the Venturi, No?
Why do you need low pressure for the fuel to be sucked?? Why can’t it be high pressure?
Why do you need less carb heat (via carb heat assist) when u raise collective?
