Still, I imagine that if his carb was working properly to begin with (if his were as you describe), it wouldn't have been dumping fuel after shutting the engine off, so the issue would have been negated altogether.

I forget if I found it any other place other then reading the wiring diagram for the Honda civics, if I remember correctly they did it on the cvcc head civics starting in 1976, so the 1.2 liter civic was the only one that didn't have fuel cut off, the fuel cut off is based off ignition switch being on, it would also cut it if the engine speed was over 1,000rpm or 1,200rpm depending on the car, the engine vacuum was high (closed throttle) the car was going over I think it was 10 or 15mph, oil pressure was correct, and I think one other factor as well, but it was part of the engine design to keep it from dumping in fuel when it was not needed.
Either way, killing your engine at anything other then idle seems like a bad idea.
I am one of the people on here who has owned a number of carburatted Honda's as well, including a 1981 civic 1.5 litter dx hatchback with a FE tranny swap, a 1984 civic dx hatchback and a 1985 crx hf and I've spent alot of time reading all of the shop manuals I could get my hands on for them to make sure I understood how they worked so I could be sure to keep the in tip top shape, I'm now on my 2nd civic vx.
