How do I make it shut off? haha, I realize this sounds odd, but dang, the thing will idle all day with the throttle barrel closed, on top of that, I even pinched the fuel line, and it idled great for another 30 seconds! Never had one that I couldnt shut down.. any idea's? The motor is brand new, has a perry carb on it, and runs awesome!!!

help? lol

Why the Perry carb - the ST carb is good? Seal the base of the carb - you probably have an air leak.

Its just the way I got it, I have the origional carb, but this, if I can get it to stop running, is the best running motor I have now. Ill reseal the base again.

When an engine will not cut off by closing the carburetor, it usually means that the air isn't cut off fully. Many carbs leak air and fuel even when closed. You'll have to carefully check to be sure all air leaks are gone. If there's air in the fuel line, it can also allow an engine to continue to get fuel. You may also have to lean the idle mixture. When the engine continues to run for quite a while after you pinch off the fuel line, it means that the engine is still has a lot of fuel in the crankcase. That would result from a too-rich idle setting.

Still too rich, ok, when it stops raining Ill give it another shot. Ill try to silicone up the carb to engine, as I have the rubber O ring squished in there. I dont know how else to cure it. Unless I just throw a towel in it to stop it every time..

ok, just update, I siliconed the carb into the case, now I can kill it, but its lost its easy tuning, haha.. I may try to scrape off the silicone and just figure a new way to kill it.
Thanks
