Had to be pushed the last few yards off the runway onto the taxiway by a couple of red-shirted controllers. Engine started about one minute later sitting on the ground. I'm now convinced (after about half a dozen such engine outs) that the constant velocity Mikuni carbs ARE susceptible to icing. It's always been after steep descents (lots of cool air), throttle all the way back. Finn
