Okay, good idea. So I noticed you have no provisions for electronically stopping the motor from your control center, right? So if you implement an idle or throttle stop, you should set up a remote kill switch to be safe. You can't be running back to hit that kill button on the motor in an emergency. The way you would shut down now is to just close the throttle. The problem with that is something that alot of techs or operators don't really take note of. What is that you say? If you shut down using the throttle, what are you doing? Your mostly running it out of fuel.......cylinders nearly dry, right. (You stopped it by retarding the timing and it "slows" to a stop, loosing much of its ability to recharge the cylinders). So it takes a bit more cranking to get fuel in and fire back up, right? If you are running and shut down with a kill switch, you are stopping the SPARK which leaves a "ready charge" of fuel in the cylinders. The result is.......an immediate fire when you hit the starter........fuel charge and spark are "right there"........your motor is running at the "touch" of the starter. I have noticed this for years as a guide. When you leave your throttle set at idle....hit the kill button, net the fish, or whatever. You pull the starter cord not even 1 foot and its running again. I think that the 6 horsepowers, for instance, came out with a kill button after only a few years, because the OMC techs figured this out.
