Bolens 1468 won't shut off

[NewtoBolens37]

Hello everyone,
I have a 1468 that was running great till it just one day wouldnt shut off. I thought it was the ignition but got a new old stock ignition and put it in and it still will not shut off. Anyone have any suggestions as to what it might be??? I dont see any broken wires...and everything is tight. It starts great and runs great...just wont shut off. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!

That's odd....I'm just guessing, but look for a small wire going to the engine. This is the kill wire for when you turn off the key.
Sometimes the engine end is screwed to the motor, and sometimes it plugs onto a post. Make sure this wire is attached, and not broken somewhere.

Yeah Tony, I did not run every wire...nothing jumped out at me when I looked it over. I was quite shocked when I put in the new ignition and it still would not shut off. I do hope its just a wire thats loose...thats always a cheaper solution! If you think of anything else...let me know! Thanks!

Jack
