Ok, I have to ask the question. It has been stated that you should never kill a reed valve motor with the choke? Why should you not use the choke to kill a reed valved engine? Why specifically a reed valve engine?
One might guess that some will suggest that the bottom end will get full of gasoline and the reeds will check the release of pressure and on the engine down stroke the fuel will ignite like a diesel and blow the bottom end to smithereens thereby damaging the airplane. Ho, ho bang.
