My engine keeps running after I turn it off.
My Pertronic ignition died after hooking up the adapter for the tachometer. It was working for a while. But as I was tuning the carburetors the engine stopped running and wouldn’t start again. I disconnected the MSD and the engine still wouldn’t start. I put the points in and the engine started. Then I hooked the MSD and the engine started again. But when I turn off the key the engine keeps running Has anyone had this problem before? The power to the points/MSD is an original wire from the engine relay board. Should I run a separate wire from the ignition key? |

Power is leaking back into the system is keeping the MSD energized, a one way diode spliced into the the blue alternator wire either before the regulator or the wire running to the alternator light in the dash should solve it.
