Bandit 600 Carb Icing

Does anyone have a cure for a 97 600 Bandit with carb icing?
It's started again, and drives me nuts.
The carb heater kit is fitted, but doesen't seem to work straight away, so I
get stalling & very lumpy response.
Is there a replacement carb or fuel additive that anyone has tried that
works.
Not sure I can cope with another winter as it is.
Please don't suggest keeping the carb & replacing the rest.
Thanks
Chris

 

Is this something i can check, or best taken in for a service?

 

This was recommended to me today on the GPZ. My friend is riding it at
the moment and it cut out on her on Tuesday morning a couple of times. I
wasn't aware that there was a filter in it. Apparently there's no
mention of it requiring cleaning in the workshop or Haynes manuals but
the 'bloke who knows' here at work says it's a good idea.

 

Chris,

Hope I can help here... I have a friend that used to live in Newcastle[1],
and he said to me one day that he uses Isopropanol(or whatever the spelling
is) to great effect. I have never found out where the hell I can get hold of
this stuff. Apparently you only need something like a spoon full[2] with a
full tank. So in that respect, you can have a little bottle of some kind
under your seat, and add some everytime you fill up.

Hope this helps.

[2] Not sure what sixe spoon though...

 

Hmm. we have litres of the stuff at work but my bikes fine so i'll give it a
miss.

 

Anyone know why I didn't get the message above?
I have no killfiles or any other filtering.
Can someone tell me how many replies there have been to the original post?
BTW I'm using news.demon.co.uk
TIA
Chris
