Most older motors with magneto or CDI ignitions will run just fine with no battery or harness hooked up. We need to know what motor you have to determine how to shut it down properly...

Well, if you had a charging system, you don't now. Should have pulled the choke or disconnected the fuel. Rectifier, if you have one is likely cooked.

Ignition sw was miswired or you have a wiring problem.
