Can anyone help with the following (I know I have asked this before)...
Our engine continues to run after turning off the master switch and after
remooving the ignition key!
We have checked the earths (ones i can trace) and the wiring appears to be
OK, I wonder if the switch (ACS) could perhaps be faulty, but before I
replace with another would like any advice for what else I can check, or
indeed if anyone has had similar problems?
Engine is 80hp 912 and has done 300 hours.
Thanks in advance to you all...

David,
What I did last spring before starting up a new Rotax installation, was
check the mag switch with plugs removed, and looking for sparks when
"on" and no spark when "off".
Also you can disconnect the ACS switch, and check the terminals on the
bench with your ohmmeter.
Best regards,

Hi David,
I had this problem which would come and go. It ultimately turned out
to be a broken wire on the ignition coil very close to the connector.
It would "make / break" with engine vibration, sometimes the engine
would shut down, other times it wouldn't depending on where the wire
happened to settle.

We have had the same problem with G-IRON. Despite all efforts the
problem would come and go. Looking again at the mag wires last Saturday
I think I might have spotted the problem connection.

Paul´s suggestion looks the most likely and you can check the switch easily as Gilles says

Hi All,
Had the same problem with Craig Wright's aircraft. It was a broken mag wire on the top of the engine and it was far too tight. I extended the cable and refitted it and there have been no further problems.
