I always turn off the gas on my tractors and let them starve themselves off, then turn the gas back on to fill the carbs.

Shutting off an engine with the spark allows it to wind down, pulling gas vapor into the cylinders as the govenor opens the throttle plate wide open in the last couple revolutions of the crank. Had a couple tractors lightly set up after a couple years of idlenss in the past when shut down with the spark. Never had an issue with the starve to shut off method.
