1965 Johnson 40 hp - Will not turn off

[brian0938]

I just got done replacing points, coils, condensers, wires, etc. Cranks up just fine, but now will not cut off without pulling off the plug wires. What am I missing here?

What am I missing here?

The black kill wires that were previously wired to the points?

Yep, the two small wires coming from the armature plate. One goes directly to the kill switch, the other goes to the center of the vacuum cut-out switch, then on to the kill switch. Something is not connected, or the switch is bad.
