Thanks. I have two wires going to the (+) on the coil.
1.Line from ignition switch with the ballast resistor. This one seems to be ok.
2.Line from side terminal of starter switch. This one is hot with or without the ignition on. I guess that makes the starter switch the newest suspect. And it is a new switch. I'll have to take it off and have a look.
Am I correct that the side terminal should only be hot when the switch is depressed?
