New A3 Deuce Owner here. And after reading this thread and all the stories, I got to ask some questions:
On the M35A3 Cat, if a run-away/engine over-speed condition occurs:
First: Can it be stopped if it is caused by the introduction of an external fuel source (i.e. oil from turbo, gas vapors, etc)?
Second: If the answer to above question is "Yes". What is the quickest way to stop the engine, if the over-speed is caused by an external fuel source? Cutting of the air supply, by placing a solid object (like plywood) over the air intake?
Third: Would a person have enough time to do this before major engine damage occurs?
I'm guessing this question would depend upon the factors of what kind of fuel and how much fuel is being introduced.
Thanks
