Is there a safe way to stop your engine without using the kill switch? For example, if you turn the clutch backwards, it will slow to a stop.
 
I dont have a kill switch so i turn on the cebator (?) on the carburator and i turn the throttle 100% so it doesnt get air, and it turns off. Or the other way is to stop and release the clutch.
 
I'm asking, are you sure that's safe?

The safest way apart from the kill switch is closing the choke on the carby and giving it a little throttle.

DO NOT HOLD IN THE CLUTCH AND COME TO A STOP, THEN RELEASE IT= say good bye to your clutch pads.
 
How do you close the choke on the Carb then?

(Do you just mean the little choke lever on the handlebar?)

If you have the choke lever on the handlebar then yes.. when wanting to stop the engine move it from the position when your riding freely (which is open position) to where your engine wants to cut out(closed position) to starve it of air...

It will making a bogging down sound then cut out...

What carby do you have?
 
I have the one with a red plastic plate on the back.

lol I'm guessing the cns carby?

theres a fair few carby's with red backing.

with the cns carby it should have indications on the lever for what On/Off settings are. find the off setting so when you want to stop the engine you flick it to off :)
 
I guess if you wish to stop your engine without using a kill switch you could pull the spark plug wire off. :unsure:
