ok i was riding with my friend today and i did a burnout in the dirt dug right in about half way up on my brake router lol. well i got off to push it out. i pushed the engine off button over and my engine did not die! well i kepp pushing it over to each side and it would just sputter. eventually it died. why wasnt my engine turning off when the switch was all the way over on off. i hope theres nothing wrong with it.

 

ok guess no one knows.

 

thats odd... never heard of that happening... some wires must have came loose in the switch.

 

The wire for the button may have been loose, causing it to sputter but not shut off completely.

 

its weird cause as soon as i shut it off and pushed it out, i started it again and then the next time i turned it off it did not do that. thats why its strange.

 

Possibly something stuck in the carb causeing it to still get gas and run? Dont know. Sounds like dieseling on carbed vehicals

 

My friends TB did the same thing when the throttle suck at about 3/4, he tried to turn it off nothing would happen.. After we got the throttle fixed it worked fine... If you got gas/air and enough heat to detonate it, it will stay running...

 

yeah see the only thing is my throttle did not stick and my carb should be clean seeing as i just cleaned it whe i rejetted for my hpd pipe.

 

Do a burnout, get the engine good and hot, and it won't need spark to stay running. If the piston or cylinder wall is hot enough, the air/fuel mixture will ignite on its own.

 

i dont think it would get that hot... if it did i think he would have a warped cylinder
