MTD ricing mower will not shut off

My 20 hp MTD riding mower will not shut off even when you get off the mover or turn the key to the off position. Could you provide me with a solution to the issue

The kill wire most likely has a break in it. It's usually grounded to stop the engine.

Hi,
Most but not all MTD's use a yellow wire for ignition ground. It could be broken, unplugged or the ignition switch may not be providing a ground.
Peace,
Clarke
