@Dave
If by a bit, you mean 10-15 seconds, then yes. If you mean minutes, then no. The engine hours counter ticks every 6 seconds when the ignition is on. It can take me 3 ticks to remember what the noise is and turn off the ignition.
As for EI cooking coils, I'm referring to the sticky post by Moyer at the start of this thread.
@Marian, No, I replaced the coil and went home. I'll do a full post-mortem next time I'm on the boat. I also plan, as our host suggests, to get an oil-filled, metal jacketed coil.

Charging levels and resistors, time to do some checks.
Ran EI for 34 years and had one coil get weak and replaced it~that's it never cooked one.
