    Maddog,

    What do you mean by the ignition loom?

    Can you get a spark against the engine case with the plug on the wire?

    Just speculating, but I think by disconnecting the ignition loom you're isolating the kill switch and the engine starts. Either you have the kill switch in the wrong position or it's shorting to chassis internally.
    These switches work by short circuiting the CDI module input to chassis.
