Ernest, if you shut off power to the pump, while the engine is running, the injectors drain away the residual pressure just fine.
 

After testing today, it appears that the engine dies with 20psi still in my lines.  I just went down to take a look.  The pressure was at zero, and there was a drop of dark blue liquid beneath the pinhole in the manifold I punched to let the fuel drain.  The gas had evaporated, leaving the two-cycle behind.

Looks like I've got to spend a few more dollars on AN-6 fittings.
