I'm working on a 10 HP B&S motor. The ignition coil is the "Magnetron" (solid state, no points) type. Here's what's confusing me. Based on my readings, in a good coil, the resistance between the kill switch lug and the coil frame should be 0 ohms. When installed, the coil frame is grounded to the motor. The function of the kill switch is to ground the kill switch lug to the motor.
How can the motor ever start if the kill switch lug is always grounded to the motor? And, of course, it does start. What's happening here?
