With key turned off does emergency switch kill it? check grounds (brown wires)?

hey tech, isnt that a basic grounding out system when you turn the key to off or hit the kill switch?

Thats why I asked about the kill switch also,if that doesnt kill it,short somewhere sounds like. Have had switches go bad before that you would turn off and kill only with emergency switch! Usually happened on the old 2 position switches with starter and kill switch combo. Just thought of something else. check to see if black wire from cdi is connected. This is kill switch to cdi. Just a thought!
