Two things stand out clearly. The first is that a fully charged battery will smoke the wires to the coil in an instant if it is a dead short. Charge the battery and make sure it will spin the starter/engine with the coil not connected. Just 10 seconds will be fine. (or have it checked with a meter at the battery store) The coil could be shorted internally if it is, the coil is bad and cannot be repaired. Check it by seeing what its current draw is when placed in series with a 20 amp rated amp meter across a good 6v battery. It should draw no more than 2 to 3.5 amps. If it draws much more than this it is junk. If it draws full scale 20 amps it is shorted and do not leave it connected, it will burn up wires (and or your fingers) A very dead battery will show 6v with no load, put even one headlight across it and it will go to one volt within 5 seconds. I suspect the battery. Good luck and be sure to let us know what happens. Knowing the solution is important to diagnosis by remote control. JimN
