1975 Johnson 25 hp tiller

[1carym]

I have a 25 hp O/B. It has a key start and rope start. It has a long lead and then the key. When I turn the key off sometimes it does not shut off. I need to be able to kill the motor. I can push the lead in and move it around and finally it shuts off. I would really like to have a rip cord style kill switch.

Thanks for taking the time to give me advice.

Check the key switch and look for a broken ground wire. It has been a long time since I've worked on that model motor and have since lost the manuals with the wiring diagram. Maybe one of the other guys here can help out.
