    If I understood correctly, you said that you had spun over the motor without having the SP wires either grounded or connected to grounded spark Plugs. If true, you may have compromised insulation somewhere in the secondary circuit. That high voltage will find a path to ground, either internal to the coil or perhaps burn through the SP wire insulation, like at a sharp bend or clamp.  I suppose that you could be seeing a “leak” somewhere in the secondary, somewhere between the coil and the spark plug boot,,, maybe ??? If there is a weak spot in the insulation, it would not be detectable with your ohm meter.
