Hi,


I have seen similar syptoms many times before on aircraft using a 
standard
ignition s/w as supplied by Aircraft Spruce.  Ie a key operated Off Mag 
1
Mag 2 start type.  Fiddling with the s/w in the off position may stop 
the
engine and prove the fault l,ocation.


I hope this helps.

Has anyone had problems with a 914 that won=92t shut down? On a flight 
today
everything started out fine until the first stop, On turning the switch 
to
off the engine kept running, shutting the master off did not help 
either.
The engine just continued to run. Turning off the fuel switch solved the
problem. Restarting the engine showed no drop in RPM from one set of 
plugs.
The flight home was uneventful but again the engine would not drop 
RPM=92s
---From one set of plugs (closest to the off position?) and had to have the
fuel cut off the kill the engine. I have not done any trouble shooting 
yet
but hope to get back out to the airport tomorrow (Saturday) or early 
next
week to see what has opened up in the system. 


Anyone have ideas at this early point?


One thing about a Rotax they want to keep flying. I guess the plane just 
was
not ready to stop having fun today! :-)
