Probably, you are using the points (and internal condenser) for a battery ignition system. It works well, but it will have issues with heat if left on. If the battery was still up, it is probable that either the coil burned out, or the points burned up. If it happened to stop with the points open (not a common stopping point for an engine) it might be something else. With the battery charged, use a test light on the lead going into the side of the mag. This light will blink when the ignition is on, and the engine is cranked. If it does not light, or blink, it could be several things from a bad amp meter, a bad ignition switch, a bad ballast resistor (if it has one) or a bad coil. If no light at all, try testing the circuit from the coil all the way back top the battery. If the points are fried, the light will stay on when cranking. Good luck, let us know what happens. Jim
