8V92 Won't cut off

[Curt Sprenger]

If your unit is the same as our 1987 PT38...the manual doesn't state
specifically that the 8V92 might not turn off with the ignition, but it
says that if the ignition fails to shut down the 8V92, to pull the "pull
to stop" lever that is located down under the dash on the left side of
the steering column. You have to get down and look under that dash to
see the "pull to stop". I've had to do that once. Can't explain it.
