ICE = Internal combustion engine

Off the top of my head:

- At certain temperatures and pressures you have to consider icing in the carburettor, which will block air flow into the engine.

- You have to tune (lean) the fuel input to reduce fuel consumption and prevent spark plug fouling, but not lean it too much that you overheat the engine.
