P 51 wee willy 2 no carb heat?

As I understand it it’s a question of fuel nozzle placement. In regular carb the nozzle is in the venturi and the delivery of fuel there is one of the factors that contributes to the cooling and hence icing there. With pressure carb the nozzle can be placed outside the venturi, which takes that specific cooling element away. This considerably reduces the band where icing can happen:
