Narrative:
After cleared to land in cid on runway 27, we landed and were instructed to proceed to the next taxiway or do a 180 degree turn to the previous taxiway. We decided to do the 180 degree turn and taxi back. Shortly after the turn, both engines slowly lost power and quit. We notified the tower and examined the situation. We found that the copilot, while doing the after landing checklist, accidentally shut off the fuel shut off switches (which I believe he mistook for the fuel boost pumps). We went through the checklists and restarted the left engine and taxied clear of the runway. I explained to the controllers what had happened on the radio, and with a phone call, to which they said no problem, as the only traffic was quite a ways out and not a factor. The controllers were very helpful. This situation did not cause any problem, but as I discussed with the copilot, reminded us to wait until clear of the active runway to do the checklist and use attentive caution.

Title: AFTER LNDG AT CID, FO OF SMT COMMUTER ACR INADVERTENTLY THROWS FUEL CUTOFF SWITCHES INSTEAD OF FUEL PUMP SWITCHES WHILE ACFT WAS STILL ON THE RWY.
Narrative: AFTER CLRED TO LAND IN CID ON RWY 27, WE LANDED AND WERE INSTRUCTED TO PROCEED TO THE NEXT TXWY OR DO A 180 DEG TURN TO THE PREVIOUS TXWY. WE DECIDED TO DO THE 180 DEG TURN AND TAXI BACK. SHORTLY AFTER THE TURN, BOTH ENGS SLOWLY LOST PWR AND QUIT. WE NOTIFIED THE TWR AND EXAMINED THE SITUATION. WE FOUND THAT THE COPLT, WHILE DOING THE AFTER LNDG CHKLIST, ACCIDENTALLY SHUT OFF THE FUEL SHUT OFF SWITCHES (WHICH I BELIEVE HE MISTOOK FOR THE FUEL BOOST PUMPS). WE WENT THROUGH THE CHKLISTS AND RESTARTED THE LEFT ENG AND TAXIED CLR OF THE RWY. I EXPLAINED TO THE CTLRS WHAT HAD HAPPENED ON THE RADIO, AND WITH A PHONE CALL, TO WHICH THEY SAID NO PROB, AS THE ONLY TFC WAS QUITE A WAYS OUT AND NOT A FACTOR. THE CTLRS WERE VERY HELPFUL. THIS SITUATION DID NOT CAUSE ANY PROB, BUT AS I DISCUSSED WITH THE COPLT, REMINDED US TO WAIT UNTIL CLR OF THE ACTIVE RWY TO DO THE CHKLIST AND USE ATTENTIVE CAUTION.
