This is one in a series of A Guide to Narrow Boat Problems.
Problem
Engine won't stop when ignition turned off.
Cause
Most likely cause is a failure of the stop solenoid in the injector pump, which cuts the fuel supply.
Solution
The best (and probably only) remedy is to turn off the main fuel tap.
Avoidance
Make sure you know where the main fuel tap is. It's not always in an obvious place. If in doubt ask a qualified mechanic and label it clearly so it can be seen in an emergency.
