re engine wont turn of
Hi do all the dash lights go of ? any codes ?
the shp manual only goes into exccesive idle speed and engine to hot .. but yes there has to be fuel to keep it running .. is it an electrical problem ? is the idle speed normal ? .. does it eventualy turn of by itself ?
good luck

The rod from the lock operates the switch at the base of the steering column.
I would be checking to make sure the rod is pulling back out of the switch when you turn the key to off , then checking the switch itself.
The switch is the only thing that will turn the engine off as it cuts power ( IGN ) to the engine .So long as the engine is running the fuel pump will run because that is supplied from a oil presure switch on the engine
