The stock magneto coil (capacitor ?) on a G38 has a black wire at the top, soldered to a lug that goes inside the coil...You can solder a wire to this connection to ground the engine...Any other wires you see on the coil were added on by a previous owner...

Mine is like a loop back to the coil. Do you just solder to the loop? Or do you cut one side off and solder it?
This is a used engine and I would like to add a kill switch to it.

Solder the wire to the lug coming out of the coil...Easy does it on the heat..Don't cut the wire..

Thanks RCIGN1
I did not want to cut anything unless someone told me to.
