Furthermore, before you waste time thinking about it, the kill circuit does not rely on the armature plate being grounded. Conveniently starting at the armature plate, the circuit is plate to coil #1 ground wire, through primary winding, to black kill wire, to kill switch, through closed kill switch, to other black wire back to coil #2 primary winding, to coil ground, returning to armature plate, making a complete circuit.
