If it was running on excess engine oil I guess by now the engines stopped and he's still getting over the shock. They go with a he'll of a bang. I very much hope that wasn't the problem.

To be fair @pappajohnAgreed, re: not logging in, but being a member for the last five years they know replies on this forum, unlike many others, will be almost instant and as the question was asked its only reasonable to expect the op was waiting for a response and to regularly check for replies.
Not being able to turn off the engine seems pretty urgent to me....some folks wouldn't even think of stalling it.
To be fair @pappajohn
I wouldnt of thought about stalling the engine
Exactly......you would try to ask then act on the replies....or simply panic.To be fair @pappajohn

Not on the tractor on the farm... after dropping a spud down the exhaust you hit the throttle...can you still stall an engine by shoving a potato up the exhaust, it used to work in the 70's
The reason has to be its still getting fueled.. that' a given....find the reason

I think this has been the cause for some people, there doesn’t appear to be a single fix, but I am pretty sure getting the body earth connections sorted first rules out some of these problems.A known problem if a single filement stop bulb has been fitted instead of a twin stop / tail.
Does the engine stop if you put your foot onthe brake.

The fuel cut off solenoid has to operate to cut off the fuel when the ignition is turned off. It’s a case of finding out what causes it to not operate that is the problem.The reason has to be its still getting fueled.. that' a given....
The problem is how... it can only be from its normal fuel source or the lub oil...

I had that happen, on a van where the engine was laying at an angle I had drained the thick gungy oil, or I thought I had as nothing came out of the sump drain hole, refilled engine started engine and off it roared couldn't stop it, switched off, tried to stall it until clutch was burning , pulled off fuel pipes, fan never came on , water hoses blew off ,and eventually engine stopped,as I now know Adding oil put it overfilled I checked level ,well overfilled,!! I was shaking , workshop full of steam and smoke.Check your oil level. Diesel engines can run on if the lube oil can get foamed up and make its way into the combustion chambers, they can race away and blow up.....beware.
