What type of plane are you handpropping that has mixture cutoff? Must
not be the traditional Stromburg carb.

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
