So...Jason, a few posts back, you asked how to kill the engine if you hand cranked it...remember, it won't run if the key is not in the "run" position..(unless you have a separate switch as some do).

The point is, if you really want to hand crank it...set the key to "on", and spin the flywheel...to turn off the engine, you turn the key to off/disable the ignition as normal...this is not a diesel..no fuel starvation needed. The hand crank simulates the "start" position on a key, or a momentary button to engage the starter.
