Mr Terminator Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Pinch the fuel line about an inch from the inlet to the carb and it'll stop when it's ran out of fuel,simple.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny-B- Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 or stick your finger over the exhaust hole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zizzle77 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Pinching the fuel line is the best way as its the same as it running out of fuel, it doesnt leave any fuel sitting in the engine that way. Although if you've got the body on you can always put your thumb other the exhaust! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obsidian Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I've read that pinching the fuel line isn't ideal as it causes the engine to lean out before it dies. Best way to kill a running engine is to touch the flywheel with the tip of your shoe, a bit of wood or the plastic handle of a screwdriver or similar. Or turn of your starter box and press down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does'nt lean out for long enough to do any damage especially with the settings being rich for engine breaking,stays running for 2 secs max....

PMSL that is very true they are only running lean for a second or to on idle not wot but if people want to be ubber safe then by all means put the fingers over the exhaust, to be honest some people do the exhaust method then when its stopped they take off the fuel line and put the glow starter on and turn it over until it fires up and dies from no fuel. Why do they do that, they should have done the pinch method in the first place I do the pinch method all the time now and my engine inside is as clean as a whistle, when you do the exhaust method you choke the engine and all the gunk and crap goes back into the engine and possibly rust the engine, after all even if you put after run oil in a gunked up engine it will only dilute it and not fully protect corrosion where as with an engine with no fuel and after run oil is a happy engine. marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the settings are rich, then it'll take longer than 2 secs to die anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitrodom Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I can just use my finger over the exhaust, i don't get burned. I just put my toe on the flywheel from the underside of the chassis, stops straight away, no lean running, no build up of oil, perfect! Dom!

Matt B Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Dom you must have asbestos fingers You can use any method you want. I only used the covering the exhaust method because I had an exhaust deflector, so I could just fold it over and it would stall. I've used the fuel line pinch method (Once at half throttle) and it never killed it. It's down to personal preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
