If the accelerator pump is U/S, and the pilot jams the throttle open, you can make it quit, but it will do so the instant that the throttle is opened, if it's going to. If you have made an engine quit with rapid application of the throttle, the engine handling is verging on abusive, and the accelerator pump needs maintenance (unless it is one of the rare engines which does not have one).
