As Tom says... Mag will always run until it is grounded. The ground stops the spark, it doesn't energize the mag.
It's one of the reasons that, when starting a mag motor for the first time, we always have a 'spare' ground wire hooked up to kill the motor if it runs away. It can happen.
Odds are, that your mag wire is grounded... when it should be disconnected to run.
Pix of the bike? Love to see your project!
Cheers,
Sirhr
