Not always true as learned from new Evolution 46NTs with OS 8 plugs. Not reducing throttle causes those engines to quit. You can nurse the throttle until the loaded up fuel is burned off if you are careful enough. It's a damned if you do and damned if you don't situation, but you have to stop injecting too much fuel and somehow keep the fire lit.
