I know this is a basic magneto question but here goes. I am running one mag and a Lightspeed ignition, each with its own on/off toggle switch. I know that when the mag circuit is closed (grounded) the mag is off. When the circuit is open, it is hot. I am running a shielded cable from the mag with the center conductor at the p-lead terminal and the shield at the ground terminal. At the switch I don't connect the shield but will ground the p-lead using the switch to the common ground. Is this correct? Also, I didn't think there should be continuity between the p-lead post and the ground post on the mag, but there is, regardless of switch position. Is this right or am I missing something. I want to be sure of these things before my first engine run.
Thanks,
