Dan What type of plane are you handpropping that has mixture cutoff? Must not be the traditional Stromburg carb. -Robert This could be just a nomenclature issue. I was taught to call the lean position of the mixture control "idle cut off" even though it really doesn't cut anything off. However, it is too lean to keep the engine running at 1000 rpm. I'm curious about what others think Peter In the C140, the Aeronca, and the J-3 the carbs (probably all Stromburg), pulling the mixture all the way out at idle had no effect at all on the engine. The mixture control only affected the engine at power. -Robert
