The black/yellow wire that is connected to the powerpack is the kill circuit. Grounding it kills the ignition..... Not being grounded enables the ignition.

Are you using a control box with an ignition switch..... OR simply the motor with a push button for starting and a push button to stop? We need to know what type start and stop setup you're using.
