It is guaranteed to stop if you shut off the air. If your aircleaner is properly installed and all the hoses on properly and clamped you should be able to stop it very effectively with your hand over the front of the air intake. If you can't do it with your hand, add a cloth or a plastic bag like a freezer/refrigerator bad, or a small shopping bag. If your lever will not stop it, the length of the lever is not set right. That is what the Benz people put that lever there for. Adjust it. Without air or without fuel it can not run, period.
