OLD Weldanpower 150- HELP !!

[nfinch86]

Hey Guys; My old " 68 " Lincoln Weldanpower 150 woun't shut-off when I
pull the Stop Switch, I had to pull the spark plug wire off to
get it to shut-off ?? It's been raining & Freezing rain, so I don't
know if that anything to do with it or not?? I sprayed it with
WD-40, but that didn't help either??
I'm looking for Ideas, HELP !!! ..... Norm :

I dont know about your machine.
Most kill switches ground the coil to kill the spark.
With an OHM meter it should show "open" in run.
It should show "0 ohms" in the off position.
Switch may be bad.

ocweld, Hi; Big Money, where?? I'm still lookin !! Bye the way It's working now?? What Saftey Check are you talking about ?? WHAT'S THE GOOD NEWS?
I rarely use it for welding anymore! The majority of the time I use the Mig Welders. I bought a new generator to run my new Lincoln 180,and just run the 140amp. for smaller, lighter jobs. PS. Let me know whats happening
with the job down here !! .... Norm :
