I've got a 2H engine with this on the fuel pump to cut off the fuel to stop the engine:
Since it has to be pushed forward, instead of pulled back, I'm not sure how best to put a cable system in to achieve this. Anyone able to show me how there is or provide any ideas or tips?

I suppose it's an option if I can find one. But wouldn't this mechanical set up likely to be a bit more reliable and less chance of breaking down or playing up on me?
At the end of the day, the utes not going to be a daily driver, it'll just be used to tow the boat short distances and fun in the mud.
I also have a 2H in my truck that has mechanical stop and fuel over injection for start up.There is a bit of bush mechanics to get it set up though.Need to fit a longer arm to the actuator arm on the pump.Need to fabricate two cable holding brackets.Need to mount cables to pull from both sides.Need a fairly long cable to pull from the front,possibly a custom made.
Still my truck is proof that it can be done and works.Have been told though that it now does not meet ADR specs any more.

Use a long choke or bonnet release cable (solid core type)remove the cable from the outer then coat in marine grease reinstall it then slide the whole cable assy inside a piece of 1/4 plastic air brake hose (to keep dust and water out).
fit a return spring on the eng so it is spring loaded to run position you may need to fab a limit stop
then you simply pull the cable to stop the eng
I have made many cables this way and they last ,never letting me down
total cost under $25

If you make it a push/pull cable arrangment as opposed to having a return spring. You can leave it in the fuel off position and un-labelled as a anti-theft device.
At first I thought it was a sea anemone, upon closer inspection I realised it was a funky ball of tits from outer space.
