BTW, a good-quality 5# ball-peen hammer with drilled handle,
mounted on a shaft, might make the perfect kill device. If
you spring load it, once it goes far enough, the spring can
send it all the way around, and it can hit the push-down
kill lever that Bob.A was talking about. That, or just knock
the damn end off the spark plug.
