Many of the smaller low hp diesel engines just shut off with the throttle. There is a detent at idle, pulling the throttle back below this kills it.
Used to have the same thing on older Caterpillar equipment and their first truck engines as well.

That would be the choke cable on the gassers. The diesels had a cable that does the same job as the shutdown solenoid on 12v engine. Kills the fuel.
