Sounds like a bad ground. Most all ignition switches shut the engine down by grounding the ignition circuit, same as the kill switch. Which brings the question, does the kill switch turn the engine off?

dt140, 94, motor not turning off with key switch

I'm in agreement Mike, I too would also look at your ground connections, and the wiring into the connectors going to the ground terminals (example: the Neg post on Battery has a ring connector on the threaded stud. The wiring into that ring connector may have corroded/ deteriorated and no longer makes contact (no continuity between wire and connector). Same thing can happen on those bullet connectors.
The key switch ties to ground wires under the console, battery, and motor.
Let us know what you find. Good luck.
