I had this happen to me. Ground wire broken right outside of one of the
ignition modules.
It was kind of funny because I did not know how to shut the engine off. I
called lockwood while the plane was running and since I did not have the
choke connected on this plane, I had to prime it and flood it to shut it
off.

Hi All,
Thinking ahead.
I'll give this scenario and see if someone can tell me what the problem is
and where to look to solve it. I'll give it a day or two for answers then
I'll give the answer to the problem. I was called with this problem the
other day and it was solved in about 3 minutes.
You start your engine and go fly and everything seems normal. When you land
and turn off the key the engine keeps running at a very slow rpm and it
looks and sounds like it is running on one mag. What's wrong and where might
you look to find the problem?

I'd say a hung starter solenoid. I luckily caught mine on startup when
the engine happened to stop on startup.

Hi Roger,
I'd put the blame on Obama & his cronies. He's probably in there doing
something devious or other, you can bet on it! If not, I'd blame the people
that voted for him & the people who are related to the people who voted for
him. That should cure the problem! You can't blame this on old Sammi this
time! He's fish bait!
Happy Mother's Day!

to me, sounds like one of the mags can't be grounded anymore (I've had
this happen on one of my 2-strokes years ago).
I'd start with the kill switches/ignition switch. I.e. see if one of the
leads came loose. Then test the switch itself with a meter to see if it's
closing properly. I'd go from there, checking the wires and the grounds for
continuity until I got to the E box itself for broken ground leads, etc...
That'd be my first plan of attack anyway..

Roger.
I would suspect that it is actually running on one mag. First check I would
make is the wiring between the module and the mag switches for continuity.It
is possible one of the connector joints came loose. If that did not help I
would check the actual switch operation for positive contact and break.
