That is a good question and a lot of variables.
Was the fuse holder corroded, causing high resistance?
------it does cause ignition switch plug issues.
Was the pto coil really drawing excessive current? and was it caused from a larger gap than necessary?
If i had a pto coil I was willing to sacrifice, I'd power it at about 14V as that is approx. running volts, with a
large enough gap to cause it to not function.
Then see if it causes the coil to fail.
All that said, lets hope the gap adjustment cures the op's problem,
and the extra draw was just from a corrosion/high resistance problem in the
fuse holder area.
