I have a Cub Cadet M60 Tank with a 25 Kohler Command for going on 12 years now. It will do the same thing, diesel if turned off at idle, and backfire out the exhaust if turned off at mid throttle. I was told back when it was new to always let it run at full throttle for a few minutes after mowing (to cool down not under load) then turn it off still at full throttle. It always shuts off without dieseling or backfiring, and does not flood as you do not smell un-burnt gas and it will fire right back up. I do the same on my 2084 and my 2284 with no issues. I know it goes against what a person thinks is proper, but that is what is recommended by CC and it works. Providing the solenoid is working properly, this should work.
