Unless the switch fails or one of the p-leads fails while it's sitting. (It could happen.) Many of us shut the fuel off and let it die. I always do a low speed mag check while I'm waiting just to see if they're still working. Others, with the Marvel carb may use the idle cut off to kill it and wouldn't know. I've never had one fail sitting (Knock on wooden head) but twice I've had it fail while in flight and been unable to
shut down to refuel (when I didn't plan on shutting the fuel off.) It's just too dangerous to take a chance.
