Manual shut off?

[Hugh Turner]

The 2 cycles had them in the event of a run away which could happen
the manual shutoff on the Detroits was butterfly valve in the intake
that once fliped closed the air off. When I went thru heavy truck
school years ago, training engines would have to be perodically
destroyed when the training value was used. A previous class had used
the plastic bag you mentioned and came close to burning down the
building as the melting plastic travled thru the dyno exhaust. We
destroyed an 8v. We ran it with no water,a cup of screws thru the
inlet, no oil and finally a cup of blasting sand thru the inlet. We
went to lunch let it cool came back and the beast still tried to start
just not enough compression. If you need something to put in fornt of
the intake for emergency I would suggest a steel plate
