How? The device is described as a switch. To cut off fuel, one needs a valve. Is it both?
The round run/off dial when turned to off, shuts off the fuel supply and shorts out the spark plug lead. So adding the remote kill switch allows it to run out of fuel. You don't even need to use the switch. Just let it run out of fuel. Approx 2-3 minutes.
On a side note.
I am reading some posts from many years ago that state that there is some fuel left in the carb bowl after running the gen to stall.
I may have a look on mine.
Always remove the side panel and drain the carburetor via the drain screw, to eliminate any gasoline in the carburetor bowl.
