I have a Yanmar 3 cylinder engine. The old Yanmar Operation manual gives the following shut down procedure:
1a) Place the clutch handle in the "neutral" position and
idle the engine for about 5 minutes.
1-b)
After five minutes' idling, place the speed control lever
in the "full" position and raise the rpms to about 3600 to
blow out any burnt gas in the cylinder.
I had never seen this before and have never done it. I have also never seen this anywhere else. Is it a good idea?
