I finally got around to working on my 8n (which I have nicknamed the beast). I changed out the wiring coming from the alternator to the solenoid and resistor and totally disconnected the wiring for the lights for now. When I started it, it started however I had not tightened the fuel line at the sediment bowl and it started pouring. When I switched the key off it kept running, and I had to choke it out to shut it off, I looked around to make sure that I had not left any wires off and didn't see any. For safety I checked to see if it would start with the key in the off position and it doesn't, so it has to have the key switched on to start but won't shut if off when moved to the off position. Could one leg of the switch go out or am I missing something?
