Anyone ever seen a magneto that would fire when off bike but not when installed? ..

I saw a car magneto do that. It had an internal wire shorted to the points. It would fire when out, but when installed, there was less resistance to the block and it wouldn't fire.

The mag can spin faster off the bike than when it's installed and being kicked over.
How is the mag getting spun when it's out ?

Also, have you determined the mag is turning on the bike, that there is not a drive problem?
