Had my most public engine out today as my engine quit on tight turn to final into Sun'n'Fun.
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.
