Carby is heated by coolant water, if same as Sierra carby.
Sometimes the hoses get blocked, and I have seen the spacers left out, that are part of carby heating.
If water is too low, carby heating can run dry and fail.
If air is too cold, tcarbies can freeze up, especially if running a snorkle or cold air ram.
If you stop and idle for a bit, that can unfreeze them.
I have to turn off my snorkle, and suck air from under bonnet, when driving in cold mountains.
EFI may be the real fix
