         Geeze, that's news to me.  I always turn mine off with the kill 
switch.  Granted, I bought mine used so never had the benefit of a owner's 
manual.  That's how the MSF taught us, right?  Also, when the engine is 
hot, the fan will run even though I shut it off with the kill switch.

         Can someone else confirm this procedure?  I mean, I'm willing to 
change my ways, but that doesn't seem right.
