Thats right Dudley. After a few minutes of idling after a cold start up the 
frost will appear on the outside of the manifold. Right above the carburetor 
flange. This will be accompanied by a gradual slowing down of the engine. 
Black smoke will begin to appear at the exhaust and the engine will in some 
cases stall out just as if the choke is on. As I mentioned before, the cure 
is to shut down and let the heat from the engine warm the manifold and melt 
the ice. After that it is usually fine for the rest of the day.
