I still get shutdown problems with the Yanmar too, despite having fitted a modification kit supplied through Amel. The extra relay and capacitor did help improve the problem, but often the engine does not stop for at least 10 seconds after the stop button is pushed. Sometimes waggling the key assists, but sometimes not. I would really like to cure this problem. I dread the day when I want to throttle back and I can't due to a linkage problem. Not being able to cut the engine imediately could prove very expensive, and potentialy dangerous. Has anyone any ideas on how to make the engine stop reliably other than installing a manual fuel shut off valve close to the injectors? I have heard that the problem may be associated with Amel's non standard earthing arrangements for the engine. Ian Shepherd
