I can vouch for the mixture knob demo in a PA28....

On old models, it was a plunger. Student calls 'carb heat hot' and pulls mixture knob fully out.....on base leg.

The engine immediately lost all power - which was restored half-a-heartbeat later when I pushed it back in!

"Wrong knob, Knob! Bet you won't do that again!" quoth I.
