OK, did you study the wiring diagram? The ignition coil is energized by 2 separate wires. One set of wires runs to the seat switch. When you sit on the seat, the switch closes and 12 volts goes to the ignition coil. This is why you see a discharge on the amp gauge. The ignition coil is energized and this is why it runs when your in the seat.
Now the 2nd wire, as I wrote above, goes to the front PTO switch, when off, sends 12 volts through terminal B to E (the normally closed contacts of the relay) to the + side of the ignition coil.
I just thought of something, did you check the 15 amp fuse to see if it's blown? This explains EVERYTHING!!!
If it's not blown then trace this circuit all the way to the coil and see where your losing power. I tried to show you where the power is going in this 2nd line to the ignition coil on the attached wiring diagram.
