Before I started doing EOC I read everything I could find about it on this site; I didn't even know manual engines could be clutch started. I spent some time in a parking lot practicing before I felt comfortable with it on the road. I have noticed some increases, although it's only been one tank so far with regular EOC. I just saw that thread about engine damage from EOC and I got a little worried, which prompted me to make the thread.


Robertsmalls is right, each time I turn the ignition off all my electronics etc cycle off/on too, which is kind of a pain. I am planning on having a kill switch installed this summer, once I can scrape some money together (I know squat about mechanics, so I don't think I could install one);
