Hi Josh,

I don't think pulling the so-called "choke" will have any desired effect on engine shutdown.

I also have a question for the group (forgive me Amer... I don't mean to hijack your thread)... How do others feel about shutting off the fuel during or after shut-down? I can see no real good reason to do that unless you had a problem like a carburetor float valve not shutting off, or something like that.
