So my apache has the 235 with the foot starter. When my key is in the on position, the + coil wire is getting the same voltage as the battery. When I start the engine, the voltage jumps to 20-25 volts. Coil gets a little hot. Is this normal? I didnt think so. Tried to change the ballast resistor. Didn't help. Could the issue be the ignition switch???

Any info is appreciated.
You say "When I start the engine". Is this happening when you are cranking the engine? Or when the engine is running?
