gator won t shut off
The way your Gator shuts off is the ignition switch grounds the black wire that, along with two green wires, goes over the motor and down behind the flywheel. That ground wire is white coming out of the switch and turns to black at the engine wiring harness. So take your hood off and start it up and ground the white wire coming out of the switch and see if it shuts off. If it does your switch could be bad, if it doesn't you have an open condition in that wire. Possibly the plug on top of the motor is loose.

I've been thinking about your problem and before you do anything, unbolt the ground wires that go to the top of the motor, clean all the terminals, and put it back together and try it. That will get you started in the right direction.

The ground is bad from the black wire going into the ignition switch to the main ground. Did you remove and clean the ground wires on top of the motor? The ground wire you are concerned with goes from the switch to the diff lock light on the dash, then to the parking brake light, then to the harness connection for the headlights and then to chassis ground. Do those lights work on your dash? If you can't find the problem, go to the double black wire in the headlight harness, splice a wire into either wire and ground the other end. That should work. If that doesn't work, splice a ground wire directly into the black wire going into the ignition switch.

Unplug and plug your connection to the engine half a dozen times. Should be three wires, two green one black on top of the motor.

Two things left. Unplug the harness that you were just working with, connect a jumper wire to the black ( middle ) wire coming out of the motor. Start the motor and then ground out the other end of the jumper wire to the motor and see if it shuts off immediately. If it doesn't, your problem is behind the flywheel in that black wire that plugs into the coil. If it does shut off immediately, I would make up a ground wire and run it from the ground lug on top of the motor, where the battery ground is, to somewhere on the frame. Make sure you are down to bare metal on the frame. There is a small round screen in your fuel pump that gets plugged up, just blow carb cleaner on it until it gets clean.
