Rich,
Be very careful not to turn the prop until this is fixed. You may have a hot
ignition! The engine may start without you wanting it to.....and when you
may be in a bad position!
I would hazard a guess that your magnetos are not getting grounded when you
turn off the mag switches. In other words, the switches are not grounding the
mags. I would check resistance to ground at each magneto when the
corresponding switch is on or off. Off should give you almost zero ohms, which
means
the mag is grounded, and the engine should shut off. And the meter should read
max resistance on analog meters or OL on digital meters when the switch is
turned On, so the engine runs.
