Ok, heard from a couple more, the count now = is=20 out of 8 respondents (including yours truly), it looks like = the=20 methods of engine shut down

are:

7 - turn off fuel pumps

1- Disable injectors

And the "Winnnaahhh" is Fuel-Pump shut off! =

Since flooding in my configuration ("Plugs Up") = is=20 something of little consequence (but, leaking injectors have bugged me = in the=20 past) - I will stick with what has worked for me.

Ed,

I prefer the Fuel Pump shutoff method.

On my airplane the fuel system will remain pressurized for a = long time=20 after shut down.

I don't like the idea of highly pressurized fuel inside a very = hot=20 engine compartment.

So by turning off the fuel pumps with the engine still running = it=20 serves to de-pressurize the fuel system.

This way if you do happen to get a stuck open injector it will = not=20 flood the rotor housing with fuel.

It only takes a second or two for the engine to quit after fuel = pump=20 shutoff.

1. Turning off Main = Power

2. Turning off EC2 = Power

3. Turning off = ignition

4. Turning off Fuel = Pumps

5. Turning off = injectors

6. Other
