The coil is drawing about 4 amps from memory.. not really enough to be worried about thin wires .. The main wires to & from the battery - reg. and ammeter and lights need to be heavy though . I would be checking the ignition switch and the connections on it... put your voltmeter on either side of the IG switch .
