Won't turn off

My gsl-se won't turn off when I put the key in the off position. It runs until the fuel is used up in the float bowl. Last week I ripped off all the RE-EGI stuff in favor of the racing beat Dellorto setup. Switch to a Holley red fuel pump, turned on by an external relay. Don't know if I should unplug the F.I. computer or not. Ignition is still on when the key is off, I checked with a timing light. Any ideas?

I kind of find that a little bit amusing, everyone else has problems with their cars not starting, your's just won't stop

Im clueless though, that's kind of weird.
