The discharge from the magneto isn't fused. Neither is the ground. A magneto puts out a high amount of voltage (on these magneto's probably somewhere in the 30,000 volt range) but a relatively low amperage. I think it's safer to keep that as far from the battery as possible. Probably would never have any issues..... just my opinion.

Yes, a short. You'll have to search for it. Shorts can occur anywhere. We would have no way of knowing where to look. If it were here at my shop, I'd start looking in the starting circuit, specifically the key switch, as it only cooked the wire while starting.
