Thread Title : 1995 AMT200 parts needed
This is my first post. I have purchased a damaged Ximango. only time will tell if I've done a good thing! Some of you may know the aircraft.....Anyway, I have been trying to get a reply via email from XimangoUSA and Aeromot in Brazil, but not having a lot of joy.

Thread Title : Engine does not stop when mags are off
Several times when trying to turn off the engine for soaring, the engine does not stop (occurs occasionally also on the ground) when turning the mags off. The only way to stop the engine then is to starve it by turning the fuel selector off.
Has anybody else experienced this? I am worried that this may an indication of a bigger problem.

Thread Title : Mag switch problem
Try testing your mag switches individually with a continuity meter and make sure the switch is functioning properly. It sounds like you may have one of your mag switches going bad, causing intermittent contact and not grounding the ignition modules (mags) when you switch it off. This would allow the engine to continue to run on one ignition circuit. I doubt that both switches are bad, probably just one.
I've seen this sort of toggle switch failure happen before on another airplane (not a Ximango).

It is possibly one of the electronic mag units (A+B) situated on top of the engine - I had that - stopped the engine by semi feathering - UK cost new was about $700

Wow, hadn't heard that. I'd heard the ignition modules either work or they don't. Hmmm. An intermittent black box. That would certainly add some mystery, wouldn't it?
A broken wire in the ignition circuit could cause an intermittent problem like Hermann describes, too. That's certainly possible the way these Rotax beasties shake when they start up and shut down.
Thanks for posting your experience!
