Angry Foiled again

This afternoon I pulled the fuel pump wire, started the car, I couldn't shut it off with the key of course and 30-40 seconds later it died. I think this is because of remaining fuel in the carberator bowls. Enough to start the car and then some. But this got me thinking....even if the fuel pump was wired correctly to shut off, it still wouldn't immediately shut the car off because of the remaining fuel in the carberator bowls. So now I'm really perplexed? Apparently the wiring for the fuel pump can't be the culprit, since it isn't what shuts off the car. I've already replaced the ignition switch as well and that didn't solve the problem. Any more help would be appreciated. Thanks
