The black/yellow wire is the stop circuit. Check that out. Grounding that wire out stops the mtr.

In conjunction with "boobie's" on target statement......

The kill circuit is: Black ground wire from powerhead to powerpack, black/yellow wire from powerpack to raised "M" terminal of ignition switch, black wire from other regular "M" terminal of ignition switch to ground. Check the continuity of those wires if they're attached properly.
