    Should my boar carb idle act like a car carb?

    Ok, yes I do move the throttle forward once before starting. I didn't realize this was setting the choke. I need to keep the cover off the next time I stop to see if the choke is closing on me when the engine is hot as I suspect this could be causing the flooding.

    Breathable boat cover with no water repellency- does it exist?

    Guys, I store my boat under cover and it's mildewing with every boat cover I've tried. I've resorted to covering with cheap bed sheets and this works but are there covers made that are truly breathable. I want no water repellency and more breathability.
