    EL240B won’t shut off

    I have a el240B that I bought at farm auction and it was a machine that I didn’t go and look at and I got it back to my place and it starts up good and functions good but will not shut off, the only way I can kill it is by low idle and stalling the engine, TIA

    1989 963 breaks stuck on pt2

    so following up, I couldn’t locate a test port on top of my motor but I found one on the side which I would assume would be case pressure, (pic attached) which I couldn’t find another test port on it, my 120psi gauge is broke and needed to be replaced so I tested with my 1,000psi gauge and I...
