solenoid problem?

[ragman]

I have a L4200GST. Well, actually its my neighbors, but I use it more than him! I always stop the engine by just turning the key off, and it stops. Today I went to turn it off and it kept running. Had to stop it by using the stop pull cable on the dashboard. Could I have a bad solenoid? Broken wire? etc. I had been starting and stopping it all day by the key. All of the sudden this happened. Solenoid doesn't work at all. Anybody out there had this come up before?

just had a simular problem only engine would not start. there is a 15Amp fuse or a timer defective,or the fuel cut off solenoid is defective. my problem was trash keeping the solenoid from inguaging. also the electrical system prints suggests possible loose wiring going to switch.

I had to replace the fuel shut off solenoid on my L4150, located on the firewall behind the dash. Check that perhaps.
