> So how do you kill your lawnmower's engine?? ;o)

My lawnmower has a bar that I have to keep up against the push bar.  It is
designed so that you pretty much have to be grabbing the push bar to hold
the safety bar in the ON position although a pair of vice grips defeat this
nicely when working on the engine.  This safety bar actuates three separate
mechanisms if let go.  First, it is adjusts the tension on the governor
feedback to effectively close the throttle.  Second, it releases a
mechanical break so that the engine won't coast long once shut off by other
means.  Third, it shorts out the spark.  Seems to work.
