Convert a 24V DB2 to 12V? Having issues shutting off.

I am missing something in this conversion. I assume you can just swap the top cover with the 24v solenoids with a 12v top cover.

I tried this and although the throttle works the engine will not shut off when power is removed from the pink wire. Unplugged everything and then pinched fuel line to kill the idling engine.

I get a noise applying power to pink wire terminal so something is moving. Maybe not enough?

Is the 24v linkage different than 12v?

Thats all I did. IIRC its default is to shut off the engine, so it needs 12v to move the linkage to run position.
Can you put 24v back on just for testing?

Bent shut off solenoid lever more to the shut off position. Fixed problem.

Thats good.
Ive heard installing the cap wrong will cause a runaway.

X2 that is why I always power it before cranking and listen for a click to make sure it isn't bound up in the runaway position.
