Running fine - shut down like turning off switch. Waited 5 min. Started back once ran about a minute shut down for good. Carbs getting gas - seems electrical. Stator?? Power pack?? Any simple testing to isolate?

1 - I did run the list and found I have 8 to 10 microvolts still on the motor or harness.
2 - The switch tested fine.
3 - I did unplug the red plug on the engine and with the switch on, I still have 8 to 10 mv showing.
4 - Now I have the test meter set with the red lead on the motor side of the plug going to the pack (unplugged) and the black lead on the battery negative ground. Switch on 8-10 mv - switch off, no voltage. With that showing voltage with the red plug unplugged, is the short on the engine harness or on the red plug to controls harness?
5 - Can I run a new black/yellow wire and abandon original on which ever is the shorted harness? Also, I mistyped the motor year, it is a 1988
