Finding and identifying the fuel shut-off lever is a good thing for any skipper 
with a diesel axillary engine--before you need to locate it when the engine 
refuses to quit--don't ask me how I know!
OTOH, I would not recommend putting your hand over the air intake pipe/filter 
housing with the engine running. 
I tried that recently on my 28 hp Beta and the suction was so great that I had 
to get my hand out of there before the engine came near to quitting. 
I almost had a 3 inch diameter suction 'hickey' on my palm before I decided to 
stop the engine with another method--that is when I found the manual fuel 
shut-off on the engine!
BTH, using the main fuel shut-off on the outlet of the fuel tank should also 
work--but there could be a fair amount of fuel to be burned down stream of this 
valve before the engine is starved.
