My boss files IFR most of the time but rarely starts a flight in anything but
VFR conditions.  He has many thousands of hours and a great aircraft,  but has
been known to drive or take commercial when he absolutely has to be somewhere
on a day with questionable weather in the forecast (days when most instrument
rated pilots fly).  It seems a little bit excessive,  but he's been flying 40
years without getting into a single dangerous weather situation.

What happens if you do or don't turn on that carb heat?

Best,
