If I remember correctly, the do have a switch that turns it off when throttle lever is at extreme left. But that probably is not the problem. Most of those things will run just fine by simply cleaning the points. Don’t just clean them, CLEAN them. That means remove them from the motor and take them apart, degrease everything, and polish each contact shiny bright, individually. Reassemble and set gap to 0.020″ at widest opening. Do one set at a time so you have a sample of how they go together. And don’t lose any of the small insulators.
