well technically it shouldnt flood if you shut it off, that is if your fuel system and compression are good.

revving up to 3k is normal, it is the warm up period or whatever you want to call it, a lot of people like to have it set lower though.

It's normal, leave it in gear if you don't want it to do it. Oh yeah, with the clutch in.
