It should shut down when you turn the key off. Check your ignition switch – on the back there should be 2 black wires connected to the “M” terminals. They connect to the points and when grounded shut the engine down. One wire goes directly to one set of points and the other connects indirectly through the cut-out switch. If the wires are connected properly, check the ignition switch. When in the “off” position, you should have continuity through the “M” terminals.
