I would make a note that dieseling usually requires an engine with a carburetor or with mechanical fuel injection, because a vehicle with anytipe of electronic fuel injection will shut off the fuel in the key off position. The former is the case because you can't shut a carburetor off; it runs on vacuum, and uses a mechanical fuel pump run off the camshaft.

Fuel pump
Quote: Some carburetted engines have fuel pumps, but they are often low-pressure. I'd say that most carburetted engines have fuel pumps. The only exception is small engines with gravity feed. Biscuittin (talk) 21:56, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Emergency stop
I fully agree with "An idle speed that is too fast" as a possible cause. My carburetor had been locked into high speed due to failure on the accelerator cable, so I decided to turn the engine off. It didn't stop!. It finally did after several unpleasant seconds. Next time (if ever) I will try to get it stopped by braking, or maybe choking the gasoline and/or air inlets.DanielRicardoPerez (talk) 06:10, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
