It goes against everything I am use to from working on cars, so I am confused trying to get this thing started. Over the years it has been hatched and chopped so I am not sure what it is suppose to be anymore. The coil seems to be shorting out because it gets HOT, too hot to even touch. Currently there is a wire that leads from starter switch, over to the oil pressure gauge, down to a distributionblock then to the neg post of the coil. There is another lead that goes from the neg post to the intake manifold. On the positive side of the coil goes down to the magneto. Does this seem right? Is there an issue in the magneto that is causing the coil to have a closed circuit the whole time and thus overheating it?
