The anti backfire solenoid sticking opening doesn't prevent the engine from shutting as you are killing the output of the coil. It does however allows extra fuel into cylinder and exhaust which can create that backfire sound that most experiences on normal shut. The grounding of magneto is what shut downs the engine which in this can be as simple as broken wire to a bad magneto coil.

Most engines hav an anti backfire valve solenoid screwed under the carb bowl. This sometimes sticks due to ethanol gas. When you turn off the ignition, it closes the valve to let the engin run out of fuel. If it sticks closed the engine will not start. Sticken open, the engine will not shut down. It has a single wire going to it. When you turn on the key, you should get power to the solenoid. If you have power to it, then remove the solenoid and clean the needle valve and carb opening. Would be a good time to clean carb also. A good carb cleaner works well. Ethenaol added gas is a real culprit to carbs nowadays.

150 hp Turbo Diesel engine will not shut off using the kill switch. Any idea on what the problem could be?

I obviously am not familiar with the application here but petrol engines have an electrical ignition system that can simply be turned off to stop the engine. However diesels have super high compression that causes the ignition. Diesels with mechanical fuel systems will continue running until the fuel is shut off or the engine is stalled. The fuel is usually supplied to the injector pump through a solonoid valve where an electrical supply is needed to open the valve and the valve springs shut when the supply is removed. The fault is 90% in my mind associated with the this fuel shut off valve. However there is another way that a diesel engine can find fuel to not allow it to stop. A turbo seal failure can atomise engine oil into the inlet manifold and the engine will continue running until all the is used up.

While I was cutting grass the Engine shut down. Pulled the brake up. Push the PTO back down to shut the blades down. I started the engine, engine runs perfect.

Have you checked the safety switch under the seat? Operator presence is required on most equipment today to properly function. If the seat switch isn't closed, it will shut the engine down if the parking brake is released and/or the blade PTO switch is engaged. Unplug the seat switch and place a jumper into the seat switch receptacle to the wiring harness; not the male plug to the seat switch. If you can start the mower, disengage the parking brake, and engage the mower blades (with your other switches reconnected) without engine shut down, replace the seat switch.

91 honda accord fan stars when you shut off engine

There are two fan switches on that car;
The main one turns the fan on and off when the ignition is on and the car is running.
The second switch powers the fan if the ignition is off and the engine temperature is too high, to cool the engine off if it was just shut down.
It sounds like your main fan switch has gone bad and needs to be replaced since it's not sending any signal to the fan, while the engine is running.

When I turn the key to shut the engine down it

I don't think the starter solenoid is involved here. T

There should be a fuel shut off solenoid on the bottom of the carburetor which shuts off fuel when the ignition is turned off -- this is a safety feature as well as protection from damaging backfiring.

This fuel shut off solenoid could be stuck open.

There is a switch under the seat which opens and closes the solenoid depending on whether the seat is occupied. This switch as well as the ignition switch control the solenoid.
