JFB #05177: Additional info:
I have wired the bulb area three different ways:
1.) Bulb in the circuit
2.) Jumper wire with bulb out of circuit
3.) A jumper wire connecting the two wires, bulb omitted, with a 15 ohm resistor in the jumper.
To confuse the issue more, I installed Duraspark II, and am running through a relay as depicted in the various wiring schematics (George P.) and I would think once the ignition switch is in the off position the relay would open thereby cutting power to the coil.
What is further confusing is the solid state regulator shuts the engine down, but the mechanical regulator does not.
