I have an m120 that when you turn the key off it keeps running, you have to use the mechanical lever to shut the engine down. I have been told the fuel shut off solenoid has probably failed. Can someone tell me where this solenoid is? Is there a way to test it? Also I am having trouble with the 3pth, sometimes the idiot light on the dash flashes rapidly and the only way I can raise or lower it is with the swich on the fender. It seems to me that it does it more often when it's raining or more humid? I don't know where the electronics are for any of this, can someone please help out a new guy? Thanks for any advice. Jay
2003 m120 won't turn off

Between the engine not shuting off at the key and the dash light acting goofy it sounds to me like you may have a short in the wireing somewhere.
I've located the fuel shut off solenoid and contacted the local dealer, they want $400 for a new one which I think is to much. Does anyone know where I can get parts for this m120 for a more reasonable price? Thanks for any advice. Jay
$400 seem too high. Try online parts dealers. Messick's may have a better price.
Some posters here have bypassed the solenoid to prove a failure and others have left it bypassed and used manual compression release (if you have one) to kill engine.
