In my experience there are two possible causes to this. Most modern
engines use a solenoid to turn the fuel off when you want to stop the
engine. If this is sticking or out of adjustment then the engine will
keep running even with the key turned to the stop position.
On older engines another common problem is if there is sump oil getting
up the bore due to excessive wear the engine will happily run on that
until al the sump oil is used up and the engine stops with a bang.
