Answer
 Hello Mike:

 Send me the Model Numbers Off of the Mower, Please. With these Numbers I can Locate a Breakdown of the Mower and Wiring and Better Assist you. However, Check the Fuse(if your model has one). If the Engine Doesnt Shutoff with the Switch, then the Switch is Bad. I am here if you Require more Assistance. Hope this Helps. Let me know what Happens, Please. I enjoy knowing the Outcome. Thanks.

 Good Luck

 Respectfully

 John
