I have a subaru 360 that has a electronic carb shut off just prior to the bowl, the way you use this as an effective kill switch is to shut off the solenoid, wait then kill the motor.
My Subaru 360 will run about a 1/4 mile on the fuel in the bowl at speed however so it doesn't work perfectly but if you time it you can kill the motor without hosing down the engine with as much unburnt gas. You don't want to completely kill the engine this way alone or its awefull hard to restart.
You need to turn the solenoid right back on after the motor dies or you will wait some time to have enough fuel to run after doing this.
