We've owned hundreds of collector cars and hundreds of daily drivers, all but a few of which had heat riser valves. The ones where it was not functioning we fixed and enjoyed half a million miles of driving over the past 55 years. There is a reason that engineers since the '30's have designed them into virtually all automobiles and trucks.

If I take a collector car out for a drive in the fall/winter the driveability is just as good as summer and that's because of the heat riser valve. Carburetor icing and resultant complete loss of power is a very dangerous condition.

There is a simple fix for your problem which I'm sure you'll find and correct. Good luck
