140 Johenson starts right up, runs great, doesn't shut off. Switched ignition switch - no change, no apparent loose or broken wires. ????????????

It would help to know which 140 you have but trace the black wire with the yellow stripe. Its bound to be broken or disconnected somewhere. When you turn the key to the "Off" position, that wire gets connected to ground which grounds out the ignition.
