There's one procedure I haven't heard anyone mention so far.  I first 
saw this as part of the engine shutdown checklist (checklist!!) for our 
T-41's.  First, the engine is idled at about 1000 RPM.  After the 
avionics and electronics are turned off, the ignition (mag) switch is 
MOMENTARILY turned to "OFF".  If the engine tries to die, it can be 
assumed that the switch and grounding wire are functioning.  The engine 
is then shut down normally with the mixture control.  Obviously, this 
will only work with carbs equipped with mixture controls which will go 
to full fuel cutoff.  This seems like a cheap and easy check on switch 
and grounding wire integrity and should make propping the engine just a 
little safer.
