If the linkage from the shut-off lever to the IP is out of adjustment, then the stop lever will not shut the engine off. I did this after following some low power posts, regarding taking up slop in the throttle linkages and making sure WOT caused the IP to go to max. I do not think this adjustment issue will cause the other issue you are dealing with, though. Someone else chime in on that please.
