    I cannot post pics here because my iPhone resolution makes them over 2 MB.  I have not removed the kill switch because I think the insulators within it are falling apart.  On the top side under the kill switch nut where the two condenser wires go mine looks like, top to bottom, the nut on top, condenser wire, insulator, second condenser wire, insulator then magneto plate.  The two condenser wires have an insulator between them so in the stop position only one wire goes to ground.  My logic thinks insulator on bottom, then both wires next, then the top insulator and the nut last.

    Am I correct?

    Sorry, but I can’t follow what you’re saying and get a clean picture
    in my mind.
    I posted this photo before on the order of the parts in the kill switch post.

    The “kill” wires on mine basically run in between the two sets
    of points, attached to the brass bar. In between is the insulated
    kill switch post, and when activated, grounds the two ignition
    systems together, killing the engine.

    Prepare to be boarded!
