I've been advised that if I take the barrel to a hardware store in North Frederick Street, I can get a new ignition key made up....

Behold, my amazing google powers! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carburetor_icing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carburetor_heat So it would imply that some sort of heating apparatus on the Carburetor would stop icing. Like a heater. You can all thank me later...

Very few people do. The best way to wash a bike is with a cloth and a garden hose with slow running water. This way, the slow running water will wash the dirt away, but not do any damage. I use a cloth and bucket - does the trick.
