    Honda 200x Sparks Frame ?

    Ok, its late so ill make this short and sweet, I have a 1984 Honda 200x with a 185s engine, It had no spark so I put in a new main ignition coil under the flywheel and now I do have spark.
    So I tried push Starting it ( no pull starter at this time ) and I notice something, it shocks me.

    Any reason why my engine would shock the frame, handlebars and gas tank. Also, could this ignite the gas in my tank ?Click image for larger version.

    Reminds me of the big red we had as kids, the killswitch was the handlebars and your thumb

    you've probably got a short, or a bare wire in the ignition/ stator wires touching the frame somewhere, maybe pinched under the gas tank or a bare wire from the stator is touching the case?

    That would be nice but sadly, no. Just an old beater
