something happnd like that to me. that was wn my accelerator cable broke and i was waitong fdor a new one. well we had rigged it with a rope. well it stuck, th brakes don't do shit at top sped and i hadn't put the kill in the front so i had to turn around, steer, and pull the kill all at the sam time! the kill was jammed so i put it on choke and it died shortly after that.
next stop: nobel prize winner! |

Try driving an RX-7 and having the carb stick at wide open...that's an experience. Especially on one of the busiest streets in London...

Well yeah, that was the ultimate solution. But the real issue is when the throttle sticks, the car TAKES OFF. All four barrels of that little carb pumping fuel into a rotary that just wants to scream towards redline...Takes you by surprise, especially when the car will reach 50 MPH in 1st gear...

LOL. That's just a little '78 with all of 100HP. Imagine a slightly modded Turbo II (86-92). Easy to get 250HP out of the engine with bolt-ons. Or my car when it's finished...bridgeported turbo 6-port high compression engine, probably into the high to mid 11s in the 1/4... 
Or if you want to get fun, the 20B three rotor swap....

My brother has an old lawn mover engine. don't know what make, but its a 1 cylinder 4 stroke engine, and everything uses the metal engine block as ground, the magneato (spelling) has 1 wire to the plug (which receives ground through casing) and another which goes through a 0.2 farad cap. to ground and to the breaker points of which the other side is again connected to ground. Kill switch is a metal tab about the plug, which when pushed down grounds it out, surely there is a better way if doing this, would grounding the wire on the other side of the magneato work?

Yikes. That's an evil system. You can run a ground wire to the NON-GROUNDED breaker point. Grounding that wire will kill ignition.

Hehe... sounds like you need an ignition kill switch for your car Aaron.
If I ever see an RX7 embedded in a wall the first thing out of my mouth will be:
"Aaron, is that you?"
