I have an older (1996) GT262 that my brother gave me because it quit running. Over the winter, I fixed what all was wrong with it and it starts and runs like a Deere. I've mowed my 1/2 ac. lawn twice this year with it just to keep the battery charged up and the gas fresh. However, today it did a funny thing. When I turned the key off, it kept running. I had disabled the carburetor solenoid because it was too expensive to replace and put a manual fuel shut off inline. But it has been starting and shutting down just fine until today. Matter of fact, I have probably started it and shut it off 50 times over the last few months of tinkering with it. Today, I had to turn the gas off to get it to quit. Obviously the spark is not being shut off with the switch. I'm wondering if anyone has a wiring diagram that would indicate how the spark is turned off by the key? I downloaded the exploded wiring diagram picture from the JD online catalog but I cannot determine where the ignition wire is. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
Thanks!
