I performed a simple vanguard for vanguard swap in a 1999 landlord. All went well but when I turn the key off the motor doesn't shut down. The dash light get brighter. I checked the ground wires to the coil and they were both attached. What gives?

Did you connect the ground wires under the frame that goes to one of the engine mounting bolts?

 

[zimmyrz]

Yes . than you for responding!

 

[mowman1]

If you take the wire from the coil and ground it does the engine shut off? The connector to the wiring harness is plugged in? Next take a meter to the ignition switch to ground and see if you have a ground when you turn off the key.

No.the connector is plugged in. How do you check the ground with the meter? Also there is still power to the carb solenoid when the key is shut off

 

[zimmyrz]

Still having this problem. Tractor will start without any safeties engaged.

I put the updated diode kit in last night and now with all wiring in place I have no spark. When I unhook the coils from the diode the engine runs. Thoughts?
