Runaway Kioti DK 45

Yes turning the fuel off is a better solution but not all filters have that. You can also put hand on the air intake. My father was a diesel injection pump specialist. He told me to break the glass in emergency.

In cases like that, with no shut off at the fuel bowl one could also possibly kink or cut/crimp the fuel line to the fuel bowl or filter or whatever is easiest/safest to get at.
Curious what company your dad worked for and where, if you don't mind me asking. Was it a Bosch franchise by chance?

My father was working as civilian employee in a maintenance shop for military vehicles in former Czechoslovakia. The injection pumps we made in Czechoslovakia by company called Motorpal. Motorpal: History of MOTORPAL, a.s.

The 45 is back home in the barn, purring like a kitten, but for how long I don't know. My mechanic put an automatic shutoff on that can be pulled out and kills the engine. I will post a few pics to show the setup.

If you have to manually pull it, is it actually automatic?

I for one, would be very interested in seeing your setup. Been thinking about rigging something up on my CK... A manual fuel shut off would be much preferred by me, rather than that solenoid slamming things off. An emergency shut down valve similar to those on the earlier mentioned Detroit Diesels, is what I've been contemplating for the CK. I've operated and owned diesels since 1966, millions, and millions of miles, countless hours, never had one run away, but I still want a way to manually shut the CK down (if need be), from the operator's station....HB Bob
