Just found an Owner’s manual online for a RD-17,
and it says to turn twist grip to “STOP” to shut off
the motor. I assume it retards the timing so far that it dies?
Is this correct?

Yes, just slow it down till it stalls. On the other question, your motor does not have the fuel saver function, so it does not have the situation that required a dual mercury switch.
