Chrysler's lean burn

Back in the 60 or 70's Chrysler experimented with "lean burn". They used a solenoid to hold the throttle plate in the idle position. When key was turned off, solenoid pulled in and closed the throttle plate to prevent dieseling.

What was the solenoid called and where can I get one? I want to install one on my 4010 mule.

george u gotta know the numbers 4010 are sacred to some of un old farm guys!!!! maybe spell out part of it like phone numbers as craigs list LOL
 
I believe all manufacturers used such devices in the 1970s. Anti dieseling, idle stop, etc.

Any decent junk yard ought to have dozens.

Another option.
Back out the idle speed screw then use the hand throttle to regulate idle speed.
A hinged stop to flip in front of the hand throttle to maintain your desired idle speed then when you want to shut down flip the arm out of the way and you can throttle down to nothing.
 
Lean burn is a mid '70's emission gimmick. You either keep the system complete and working(which isn't difficult) or completely remove it. Half azzing it is what most tried and won't work.
 
Not only Chrysler, but Ford and GM used them in the 70's to prevent dieseling. I have always heard them called an anti deiseling solenoid.
