In your first post you mentioned that you had installed a new wiring loom. I would check that you have all the connections correct particular the ones to the ignition circuit. You say you switched off the ignition but the engine still continued to run. There must have been a circuit of some sort to continue making a spark at the plugs to keep the engine running. The only other way I know of an engine running after the engine has been switched off is when a build up of carbon in the head has got so hot it acts like a plug and ignites the fuel mixture. I don’t think your engine had run long enough to get that to happen.
You could try laying a plug on the head so that the body earths and with a plug lead attached turn the engine over WITH IGNITION OFF and see if the plug sparks. This would prove if the ignition switch is breaking the circuit. This is best done in the dark as it is easier to see any spark created.
