Sorry for the short answer. The long answer is that a magneto should never be connected to power. The terminal on the Mag is used to ground out the primary windings inside the mag so the tractor can be stopped. The mag may be toast. 22 amps is about the amount it would draw through the system as it was being fried. Sorry about the blunt truth, but it is that way. The switch on the electrical box (for a mag) is a ground only device. It is grounded when pushed in, and open when out. If the points and primary are not burned up it will run with nothing connected to the Mag at all. Please keep us informed, some of the responders may have parts to repair it if it is toast, or Magman can for sure fix it. JimN
