Starting & turning off the 8 moter.

The revving up and killing ignition is an old carb trick as Ted mentioned. It doesn't apply to current EFI rotaries.

Mechanics are like doctors - if you have a serious question, it's best to get a second opinion, or maybe a third. You're just wasting gas revving your engine and shutting it off. Why after 80K and 6 years of doing this would you ask this question? It seems a bit odd - did your engine start showing signs of wear/compression loss and you're trying to pin it back to a specific shutdown procedure?
