If you use the fuel shutoff in the center then the engine will run until the fuel in the lines from the tank to the engine, and the fuel in the carb is consumed. You'll want to move the mixture lever to idle cutoff to stop the engine.

Make sure that the auto mixture is not checked off in the main settings of the program if using FSX. I had that problem and that was what was causing it :shock:
