Now I feel stupid! LOL I guess this is how we learn. Maybe it's the alternator I'm thinking of? It has a 3 wire plug on it and one runs to the spark plug wire magneto? One runs down into a 2 wire plug that i was referring to as the magneto wire harness before. The other wire runs up inside the flywheel. When this 3 wire plug is disconnected the engine will crank but not fire and the wires on the ammeter are hot, when this 3 wire plug is connected engine will fire but it the wires on the ammeter and the black wire on the ignition switch get hot. I've pulled the harness out once and inspected it for faulty wires maybe I missed something
