I have an '85 xp150 that runs fine but will not stop! With the key off there is no power to the terminal strip but it still wont shut down. Even with the battery disconnected it still will not shut down. Any ideas?

Re: XP150 will not shut off

The engine shuts off when the power packs are shorted to ground. The key switch grounds the power pack yellow wire with black tracer. You should check the key switch first. If not, check the continuity of that wire. I have seen one pack not shut off, and the engine continue to run, despite the other pack grounded. Remote chance it is a bad pack.
