Yeah, it can light ya right up. Look for a loose wire in your control, or a defective ignition switch.<br />Post back and let us know what ya find.<br /><br />c/6<br /><br />Hooty

I REPLACED TRIGER,STATOR,SWITCHBOX,RECTIFER,PLUGS,WIRES.$$$$$$. I unpluged ign switch still shocked me. I think poss coil or a ground. If there is a bad ground on coil would there be other problem?

Re: shock

Your problem is not in the coils. It's in the wiring harness. The problem appears to be that the stop circut wire (black/yellow) is shorted in the control box. This circut carries the stator voltage and when the key is turned off, provides a ground to the ignition to shut the engine off. Inspect the wiring inside the control box and between the engine and control and I'm pretty sure that you will find the problem there. Good luck! :)
